Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly spray a 21.5cm x 11cm (base measurement) loaf tin with oil. Line the base and sides with baking paper, allowing the long sides to overhang. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon into a large bowl. Add ⅓ cup (75g) of the brown sugar and stir to combine.
2
Combine the banana, pineapple, reserved pineapple juice, passionfruit, eggs and oil in a medium bowl. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture.
3
Spread the mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 35 minutes. Combine the remaining brown sugar with the spread, coconut and milk in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the spread has melted. Carefully spread the coconut mixture over the top of the loaf. Bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre of loaf comes out clean. Cover the top of the loaf loosely with foil if coconut is overbrowning. Stand the loaf in the tin for 5 minutes before lifting out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
