Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup ripened bananas, mashed
• 0.5 cups crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces eggs, large
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped 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

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or toasted with a spread of butter. Enjoy your Tropical Nut Bread!
