📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

3. Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut. If using chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage as well.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

8. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Slice and serve your Gluten Free Tropical Banana Bread as a delightful treat!
