Ingredients

• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Rum extract (optional)
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 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. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and rum extract (if using) until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the banana and pineapple mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 5

In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.

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

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

Step 10

Serve plain or with a smear of butter. For extra tropical flair, you can sprinkle toasted coconut on top before serving.
