Ingredients
3 large ripe bananas
3/4 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and optionally line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
3. Add the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar. Whisk until fully combined.
4. Stir in the drained pineapple and shredded coconut.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally sprinkle extra coconut on top.
8. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and serve once cooled.
Notes
Always use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for best flavor.
Drain your pineapple well to prevent soggy texture.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
