Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the mix-ins: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the sweetest and most flavorful banana bread.
  •  
    Toast the coconut before adding for an extra layer of nuttiness.
