Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup ripened bananas, mashed
- 0.5 cups crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces eggs, large
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the bread 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 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or toasted with a spread of butter. Enjoy your Tropical Nut Bread!
