Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk or hand mixer, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed bananas and crushed pineapple until well-incorporated.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using, gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts for added flavor and texture.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Hawaiian Pineapple Banana Bread with a dollop of butter or on its own!
