Reduce mixer speed to low and stir in crushed pineapple, bananas, and coconut flakes. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Divide into two greased 8 x 4 loaf pans. Bake for 65-70 minutes until done. Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes, then cool completely on wire rack. Top with glaze and toasted coconut flakes.
