Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Add the Tropical Flavors
Gently fold in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula for a neat finish.
7. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
