Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cups sweetened shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy, and that’s okay.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. For an optional topping, sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve on its own, or with a smear of butter for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
