Tropical Banana Bread

Moist, tropical banana bread with the addition of pineapple and coconut! So yummy! I adapted several recipes to come up with this one. And, you don’t need to use a mixer!

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step: 2

Combine coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; whisk well to combine. Add flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well until combined. Fold in bananas, pineapple, and coconut; stir until just blended. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Step: 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

The best flavour of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different brands do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.

To made this in a dough , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the makers instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be make in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can work it night before , then clear it off the next day.
