Here’s how to make *Banana Bread with Pineapple and Coconut* using the ingredients you provided:
*Instructions:*
1. *Preheat the Oven:*
– Preheat your oven to *350°F (175°C)*. Grease and flour a *9×5-inch loaf pan* or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. *Prepare Wet Ingredients:*
– In a large bowl, mash the *ripe banana* with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
– Add *granulated sugar*, *eggs*, *vanilla extract*, *drained crushed pineapple*, and *melted butter* to the mashed banana. Stir everything together until well combined.
3. *Combine Dry Ingredients:*
– In a separate bowl, whisk together *all-purpose flour*, *baking soda*, and *salt* until fully mixed.
4. *Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:*
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the bread.
5. *Add Coconut:*
– Fold in the *shredded coconut* to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
6. *Pour the Batter:*
– Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. *Bake:*
– Bake in the preheated oven for *55-65 minutes*, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover the bread loosely with foil and continue baking.
8. *Cool:*
– Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
