Very moist and delicious! I really liked the addition of the coconut and pineapple. As I usually do, I swapped out 3/4 cup of the oil for unsweetened applesauce and mixed it with the remaining 1/2 of oil to cut the fat. I also reduced to the sugar to 1 1/2 cups to compensate for the sweetness of the applesauce. The bread was still a little on the sweet side, so I probably could have reduced it even more. Thanks for sharing!
