Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup of drained crushed pineapple
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Optional: chopped nuts or additional shredded coconut for topping
PREPARATION:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prepare for your culinary adventure.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, setting the foundation for your flavorful creation.
Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated into the mixture. Stir in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract, allowing the tropical flavors to meld together beautifully.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could affect the texture of your banana bread.
Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. For an extra touch of texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or additional shredded coconut on top.
Place your pan in the
preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that your Hawaiian Banana Bread is perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed.
Remove your masterpiece from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the flavors to further develop and ensures a moist and delicious outcome.
Once cooled, slice your Hawaiian Banana Bread and savor each tropical-infused bite. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite toppings, this delightful treat is sure to transport you to a sunny paradise with every mouthwatering bite.
