• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Mashed bananas (about 2 large bananas)
• 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans to add a bit of crunch to your banana bread.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve this tropical-inspired banana bread as is or with a dollop of butter or cream cheese for an extra treat.
