This looks really great and I will be trying it this weekend. I do have a question about the coconut. What am I doing with the second half of the toasted coconut? It seems only half is going into the bread.
Hi Terri! The toasted coconut goes in the bread, the untoasted coconut gets sprinkled on top of the loaf before baking!
This bread looks so good. I love the fruit combination!
Mmm…mango and coconut – always a winner! It reminds me a bit of hummingbird cake – do you get that there? Banana, pineapple, passionfruit, coconut and macadamia seem to be the most common elements. Might have to try this!
Looks yummy! Do you have any suggestions for a savory quick bread? My family loves biscuits, but you can only eat so many of them. I did try an onion cheese quick bread last week and it was so dry, though my hubby loved it!
Very pretty bread!
Coconut and all that yummy fruit???? What a marvelous quick bread! Fun baking with you this month 🙂
Mmm…this looks so delicious! I love your photos.
I LOVE your Aloha bread! I was going to make a tropical quick bread initially, but then tried to experiment with the banana bread part of it and failed miserably lol Pineapple, strawberry shredded coconut and mango sounds wonderful. BTW, your site is looking fierce!
Coconut and mango sounds so tropical–yummy burst of flavor!
Oooooh this sounds so good! What a great flavour combination 🙂 It looks lovely!
Sounds great! I make muffins all the time as well so it was nice to make bread for a change. 🙂 I really want to try this bread, it sounds so tropical!
I'm a new fan of coconut and this sounds delicious! Very pretty, too.
That looks so tasty. I've been thinking about joining Daring Bakers for a while but I'm flat-out enough with Daring Cooks. Maybe when things settle down a bit… Also, I noticed you did some renovations. Love the background!
LOL – I had to laugh at the "hmm, something smells good!" because I have SO done that. More than once. Your bread looks so delicious and sounds so tropical! I'll gladly take a taste of Hawaii!! 🙂
Perfect for spring! And toasted coconut is heaven. Nice work on this challenge doing something a little different from your usual 🙂
