This Hawaiian Banana Bread transforms the classic comfort loaf into a tropical escape with every slice. Moist, ripe bananas are combined with crushed pineapple, sweet coconut flakes, and buttery macadamia nuts to create a bread that’s incredibly tender and bursting with island flavors. The perfect balance of sweetness and texture makes each bite feel like a mini vacation, whether you’re enjoying it for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon treat.
If you love these tropical flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Coconut Cream Bars for another coconut-inspired treat with that same island appeal. For more sweet breakfast options, try our Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Cake or Overnight Crème Brûlée French Toast—both deliver that same comforting, indulgent experience perfect for special mornings.

minutesIngredients
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.
