Pina Colada Bread with Blueberries
I was inspired to make this bread last night on a visit to Whole Foods Market. I saw their Blueberry Cornbread and decided I would like to make a bread with blueberries. Somehow though I didn’t feel impressed about the cornbread, but pineapple and coconut was more on my mind. This bread is my best so far and I’m so happy that I made it. Its moist and so delicious, I guarantee that it will be your families favorite.
Loaf:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup blueberries, washed and dried
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered raw sugar
1 Tbsp pineapple juice

Thank you Nai, the icing sugar is from the healthfood store. Its powdered organic raw cane sugar. You can make it yourself by blending raw cane sugar in a blender and sifting with a fine strainer and alternately blending the remainder, until the desired texture is reached.
This looks & sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it! Question: Did you make the icing sugar yourself or is that store bought? I’ve thought of making homemade icing sugar but have yet to try!
Thank you Ani for your great feedback, this brings joy in my heart and a smile on my face.
This is extremely good! I tried it one time for a potluck; gone in a few minutes!! I plan on making it again today. Thanks again for another great recipe.
I’m so happy you love the recipe. I’m sure it will taste just as good with 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 especially if you add the glaze. Also 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar plus reducing the pineapple juice to 1/2 cup only should work. I haven’t done this as yet, its only a suggestion.
I’m happy you are trying, I know you will enjoy!
Thank you Gauri, love your site-lots of delicious recipes!
This was sooooooo good! I usually don’t visit your website on my smartphone (b/c it takes too long to load yours), but I really enjoyed this. I had to comment. :) Next time, I will use half the sugar. It is super sweet for what I am used to. A keeper recipe! I made a double batch and will be making this again. Super easy recipe.
This is in the oven right now! A double batch, and the recipe was so simple. Can’t wait.
Love the combination and so tempting!!
