Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 very ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup of crushed pineapple (undrained)
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup of shredded coconut

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a mixer.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
4. Stir in the mashed banana and crushed pineapple until evenly combined.
5. In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Gently fold in the shredded coconut until distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
