Prepare your bread machine for use by ensuring the paddle is properly inserted in the pan and the pan is secured in the machine.
In the bread machine pan, add the ingredients in the following order: mashed ripe bananas, large egg, canola oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Ensure the liquids cover the bottom of the pan.
Add the dry ingredients on top of the liquids: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, making sure they are evenly distributed. Do not mix; allow the machine to handle it later.
Create a small well in the dry ingredients and add the chopped macadamia nuts. This prevents them from clumping together during mixing.
Set the bread machine to the 'Quick Bread' or equivalent cycle, which is suited for non-yeast-based bread recipes. Select a light or medium crust setting as per preference.
Close the lid, press the start button, and let the bread machine mix, knead, and bake the banana macadamia nut bread.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
