Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 mashed ripe banana
- 1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan using butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter with sugar using a mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
- Fold in the mashed banana and crushed pineapple along with the juice, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the shredded coconut to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake for approximately 1 hour, 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.
