1 large ripe banana, 1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, 2 large eggs, ½ cup butter, ½ cup sugar
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, coconut, baking soda, and salt.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just barely combined. DO NOT overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle a little coconut on top.
Bake the banana bread for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes in the pan then remove it and let it cool completely on a cooling rack before you slice it.
Notes
Most of our banana bread recipes call for a 9×5 inch loaf pan, but this one can be made in a 9×5 (for a shorter, wider loaf) or in an 8×4 (like in the pictures.)
