Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 150 g crushed pineapple (drained)
- 80 g shredded coconut
- 60 g chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or a potato masher.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense bread.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake 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 before slicing and serving.
Enjoy a slice of your Hawaiian-style banana bread on its own or with a dollop of butter for an extra treat!
