Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Bananas (ripe, mashed)
- 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a hand whisk.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the mashed bananas, ensuring they are well incorporated. Then fold in the crushed pineapple.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and shredded coconut (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 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 loaf pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the tropical flavors of Hawaii in every bite!
