HOW TO MAKE HAWAIIAN BANANA BREAD
Now, let’s get into the details of how to make this delicious Hawaiian banana bread step by step.
STEP 1: PREHEAT THE OVEN
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures your banana bread bakes evenly.
STEP 2: CREAM BUTTER AND SUGAR
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar. Use a mixer for this step, and continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
STEP 3: ADD EGGS
Add the large eggs, one at a time, into the butter and sugar mixture. Beat well after adding each egg to ensure they are fully incorporated.
STEP 4: MIX IN BANANA AND PINEAPPLE
Stir in the mashed banana and crushed pineapple. The pineapple should not be drained, as the juice adds to the tropical flavor.
STEP 5: COMBINE DRY INGREDIENTS
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures that your dry ingredients are well-mixed and free of lumps.
STEP 6: INCORPORATE DRY INGREDIENTS
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture of butter, sugar, eggs, banana, and pineapple. Stir gently until all the ingredients are combined.
STEP 7: ADD SHREDDED COCONUT
To enhance the tropical essence of this banana bread, stir in the shredded coconut flakes. These will add a delightful crunch and flavor to every bite.
STEP 8: BAKE THE BREAD
Pour the prepared mixture into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
STEP 9: BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN
Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of this bread will fill your kitchen with a tropical paradise scent.
