Mmmm, one of my fave flavor combos!
What size can of crushed pineapple do you use, and do you drain the pineapple, or include the juice? Thanks.
I just made this and used a regular large can of pineapple, juice and all. I also used regular milk instead of coconut milk and used coconut cream pudding instead of vanilla. Just took the loaves out of the oven and they look and smell delicious! Can’t wait for them to cool enough to sample
I used a full large can with the juice and came out great!
Thanks, Liz! It is fun to read what everyone does in their kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
Just finished my first slice, delicious!!!! I don’t normally like to make changes to a recipe before I’ve made it the first time however, I did omit the oil since coconut milk is very oily. I also used 1 cup of flaked unsweetened coconut (Bob’s Red Mill) because I really like coconut. I then made a lime glaze to put over one of the loaves. Really fabulous! Thank you so much for the recipe
