Hawaiian Banana Bread

Hawaiian Banana Bread with Coconut and Pineapple is a sweet, soft, moist, and tropical treat. This is a pineapple quick bread that is so easy it comes together in minutes and bakes in a loaf pan to soft coconut and banana perfection. It can be eaten alone, smothered in butter, or next to a scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients

The tropical flavor of this delicious banana bread comes together right away. Sweet bananas combined with crushed pineapple and coconut will transform your kitchen into a Maui vacation. You’ll have people in the kitchen ready to taste the bread before it is even done cooling!

Instructions:

Dough

Begin by using an electric mixer to combine the dry ingredients from a small bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) with the wet ingredients in a large bowl (eggs, sugar, and butter). The texture of the dough will thicken to perfection as you stir in the mashed banana and pineapple.

Dough

At this point, you can also add additional desired ingredients like macadamia nuts, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, or even cinnamon. Before putting it in the oven to bake, prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper or cooking spray. If you prefer, you can make muffins by placing the dough into muffin liners and a cupcake pan.

Baking Tips

Use the toothpick test to make sure that the bread is cooked through.

It’s very important to let the bread cool to room temperature before attempting to remove it from the pan and cutting it into slices.

My little secret is to remember that the bread will continue to bake in the center as it cools.
