Wet Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/2cup crushed pineapple (drained)
1/3cup melted coconut oil or butter
1/2cup brown sugar
1/4cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
1 3/4cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4cup shredded coconut
1/4cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, pineapple, melted coconut oil, both sugars, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Add final touches: Fold in shredded coconut and macadamia nuts if using.
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.
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.
