Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 150 g crushed pineapple (drained)
- 80 g shredded coconut
- 60 g chopped macadamia nuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or a potato masher.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense bread.
Step 6
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake 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 before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Enjoy a slice of your Hawaiian-style banana bread on its own or with a dollop of butter for an extra treat!
