We love quick breads! I make them often for an easy breakfast or snack for the boys. Instead of making traditional banana bread, try adding a little pineapple and coconut! A little tropical touch to a moist bread!
Double this recipe and place one loaf in the freezer for the future! Just wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap and foil and then freeze!
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar (or corresponding measurement for sugar substitute)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup mashed ripe banana
- ⅓ cup crushed pineapple, drained or chopped fresh pineapple
- ½ cup sweetened or unsweetened flaked coconut
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prep a 9x5 bread loaf pan with cooking spray or Baker’s Joy.
- In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar, add egg and beat until creamy.
- Stir in banana, pineapple and coconut flakes.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined.
- Transfer to loaf pan.
