Hawaiian Banana Bread

Hawaiian Banana Bread with Coconut and Pineapple is moist and a tropical treat! This quick bread is full of coconut flakes, crushed pineapple & ripe bananas.

Y’all, this tastes like a little slice of Hawaii came to the Midwest…

With chewy coconut and luscious banana, this pineapple quick bread comes together so quickly—it only takes a few minutes to prepare. Families, this will make your kids very happy! Alternatively, should I say bananas? I’ll share a tiny secret with you. Although I’m not a huge fan of bananas, this coconut banana bread is AMAZING. I’ve been known to take the last piece, which is against the mom code, because I love it so much that I rush through it.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 very ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup crushed pineapple (do not drain)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Getting Ready Set the oven’s temperature to 350. Using a mixer, beat butter and sugar in a sizable basin until light and fluffy. Beat in each egg one at a time after adding it. Add pineapple and mashed banana and stir. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a different, medium-sized basin. Mix in with the wet ingredients. Add the chopped or flakes of coconut. Fill a 9×5 loaf pan with mixture that has been oiled. Once a toothpick is inserted, bake for 60 minutes, or until it comes out clean.
