Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
– In a large mixing bowl, mash the **bananas** until smooth. Stir in the **crushed pineapple**, **shredded coconut**, **oil**, **eggs**, and **vanilla extract** until well combined.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the **flour**, **sugar**, **baking soda**, **baking powder**, **salt**, and **cinnamon**.
4. Mix the Batter
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this ensures a tender loaf.
– Fold in the **macadamia nuts** and **dried pineapple**, if using.
5. Bake the Bread
– Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for **50-60 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
– Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
#### 6. Serve and Enjoy
– Slice and serve your Hawaiian Banana Bread warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious on its own or with a smear of butter or cream cheese.
