Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Optional Add-ins:

  • ½ cup shredded coconut (for a tropical twist)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for crunch)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (for extra sweetness)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
  2. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4: Combine and Mix the Batter

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix!
  2. If using add-ins like nuts, coconut, or chocolate chips, fold them in now.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  2. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious pineapple banana bread!

Notes

  • For extra moisture, leave a little pineapple juice in the batter.
  • To prevent over-browning, cover the loaf with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Storage: Keep at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze slices for 3 months.
