Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 0.5 cup mashed ripe banana
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup optional chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), mashed banana, shredded coconut, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped macadamia nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, or with a smear of butter for extra indulgence. Enjoy this tropical-inspired treat!
