Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
• 0.5 cup mashed ripe banana
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup optional chopped macadamia nuts

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, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), mashed banana, shredded coconut, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve plain, or with a smear of butter for extra indulgence. Enjoy this tropical-inspired treat!
