Hawaiian Bread

Whenever I have bananas at home with tons of brown spots, the first thing that pops into my head is Banana Bread! However, this time I wanted a different twist, and after searching around online I came across Hawaiian Bread! It's very similar to Banana Bread except it has crushed pineapple and shredded coconut. This bread is ridiculously good...it's moist, packed with flavor, and transports you to the beaches of Hawaii!

Hawaiian Bread 

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

3 large eggs

2 cups mashed ripe bananas

1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup chopped macadamia nuts (I used chopped walnuts)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (9x5-inch) loaf pans. In a large bowl, beat oil and eggs with an electric mixer at medium speed. Beat in bananas, pineapple, and vanilla, until combined. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to oil mixture, beating until combined. Stir in coconut and nuts. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
