Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut. Stir until well-mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
If you prefer a sweeter option, add chocolate chips.
Other fruits like shredded mango or diced papaya can be added for additional tropical flavor.
The bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
To reheat, microwave a slice for 15-20 seconds or heat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
