Method
 

How to Make Coconut Pineapple Banana Bread
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even bake.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in mashed banana and crushed pineapple until well blended.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in shredded coconut so it’s evenly distributed.
  6. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
