Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the shredded sweetened coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple, coconut milk, vanilla extract, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula. Avoid overmixing; stir just until no dry spots remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing (if using).
For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf.
Slice and serve. Enjoy the tropical flavors of your Pineapple and Coconut Bread Loaf!
