Servings: 12 slices
Calories: 310kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 medium overripe bananas about 1 cup mashed
- 1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut oil melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the bananas to a large bowl. Use the back of a fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas. Add the pineapple (with juice), sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined. Add the coconut oil to the bananas. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 1 hour. When a toothpick is inserted into the center of the bread, it should come out moist but with no raw batter on it.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. Store covered in the refrigerator.
