Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped macadamia nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk or hand mixer, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the mashed bananas and crushed pineapple until well-incorporated.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts for added flavor and texture.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your Hawaiian Pineapple Banana Bread with a dollop of butter or on its own!
