  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, pineapple, melted coconut oil, both sugars, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Add final touches: Fold in shredded coconut and macadamia nuts if using.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra tropical flair, top with a sprinkle of coconut before baking.
  • This bread stays moist for days and freezes well—just wrap tightly after cooling.
