Description

A tropical twist on classic banana bread, this Coconut Pineapple Banana Bread is ultra-moist, packed with sweet crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and ripe bananas. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted or softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment or non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.

Add eggs, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple.

Whisk until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.

Fold in 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut, reserving the rest for topping.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Sprinkle remaining coconut over the top.

Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Don’t overmix your batter—this will keep the loaf soft and tender.

Make sure to drain your crushed pineapple well to prevent a soggy center.

Toast your coconut before sprinkling on top for added flavor and texture.
