Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Mashed bananas (about 2 large bananas)
- 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans to add a bit of crunch to your banana bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve this tropical-inspired banana bread as is or with a dollop of butter or cream cheese for an extra treat.
