Hawaiian Banana Bread with Pineapple, Coconut, and Macadamia Nuts Freshly Baked and Sliced

Hawaiian Banana Bread with Pineapple, Coconut & Macadamia Nuts

Say aloha to your new favorite banana bread! This Hawaiian Banana Bread with Pineapple, Coconut & Macadamia Nuts is moist, tropical, and filled with sunshine flavor.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (8–10 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the eggs, melted coconut oil, both sugars, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Fold in the tropical mix-ins: Add the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts. Stir gently to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  7. Pour into the loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Wrap tightly to keep it moist for days, or freeze slices for a grab-and-go tropical treat anytime.
