    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

    • 1 cup sugar

    • 2 eggs

    • 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed

    • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

    • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

    • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with some butter or cooking spray.
    • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
    • Stir in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract until well combined with the butter mixture.
    • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt before gradually incorporating into the wet mixture.
    • Gently fold in shredded coconut and macadamia nuts into the batter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure it bakes uniformly.
    • Bake in your preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
