Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, drained crushed pineapple, eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  9. Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Fresh pineapple can be used if finely chopped and well drained.
  • Walnuts and pecans both pair well with the tropical flavors.
  • Mini chocolate chips add extra sweetness and richness.
  • Dried mango or raisins make delicious tropical additions.
  • Sprinkle extra coconut and nuts on top before baking for added crunch.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • The bread freezes well for up to 2 months when tightly wrapped.
