Units Scale

For the bread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

For the frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in bananas, pineapple, pecans, and coconut.
  4. Combine and bake: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55–65 minutes. Cool before frosting.
  5. Make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
  6. Frost the bread: Once cooled, spread the frosting over the top of the bread.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, chill the frosted bread for 30 minutes before serving.
  • You can toast the pecans before adding for enhanced flavor.
