Ingredients

Fruit & Flavor Boosters

Overripe Bananas – 3 large or 1½ cups mashed
Crushed Pineapple – 1 cup (with juice)
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut – ½ cup
Pure Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon

Base Dry & Wet Ingredients

All-Purpose Flour – 2 cups
Baking Soda – 1 teaspoon
Salt – ½ teaspoon
Ground Cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
Brown Sugar – ¾ cup, packed
Eggs – 2 large
Vegetable Oil – ⅓ cup

Optional Add-Ins

Chopped macadamia nuts – ½ cup
Mini chocolate chips – ⅓ cup

Instructions

Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment or grease it well.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Mash overripe bananas in a separate bowl.
Beat eggs, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until emulsified.
Fold in mashed bananas, crushed pineapple (with some juice), and coconut.
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients; mix until just combined.
Fold in optional add-ins, such as macadamia nuts or chocolate chips, if using them.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60–70 minutes, checking at 55 minutes.
If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
Check doneness with a toothpick (should come out clean or with moist crumbs).
Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes; then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, toast the coconut before adding. Use overripe bananas, avoid overmixing, and spoon flour into your cup for accurate measurement. Freeze-wrapped slices for quick snacks or brunches on the go.
