Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

      Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

          Mix Together: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add Coconut and Nuts: Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

                Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Slice your Hawaiian banana bread and enjoy it warm or at room temperature. It can be served plain or with a spread of butter.
