Easy Banana Nut Bread Recipe

This Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread is seriously delicious! This is not your average banana nut bread. This bread is loaded with pineapple and coconut. YUM!

How To Make Banana Bread With Pineapple & Coconut

As I said, this Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread is super easy to make. It doesn’t even require a mixer! All you need is a bowl and a whisk. Start with combining mashed bananas, eggs, canola oil, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and crushed pineapple. Next, you will add in all of the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, pecans, and coconut. Pour the batter into two loaf pans. Top the batter with some turbinado sugar and bake. The sugar gives the bread a nice crunch after it is baked.

Check the bread while it is baking and tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes if it is starting to get too brown. Feel free to swap the pecans for walnuts or macadamia nuts. You can also make the bread in smaller loaf pans. The smaller loaves are perfect for gifts! Wrap them in some plastic wrap and tie a bow on them. Easy peasy!

Can Banana Nut Bread Be Frozen?

This recipe makes two loaves of bread. You can freeze one or both loaves for later. You can also freeze any extra ripened bananas! They are good for about 3 months. Simply mash enough for one recipe and stir in about 1 tsp. lemon juice and place in a freezer bag. Pull the frozen mashed bananas out and thaw when you are ready to make another batch of this yummy Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread.

We love to serve this quick bread for breakfast and brunch. It is the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread:

  1. This is the best banana bread ever!! My husband begs me to cook it all the time. Forget about freezing any as it seems to disappear quite quickly 🤣

  2. Excellent bread recipe! Great with our morning coffee, problem is it just doesn’t last long enough🤣Thanks for sharing.

  3. Try as I might I could never like banana bread. A friend made this for me, trying to find one I would like. I love it!! Just made it again this week. Happy I put one loaf in the freezer or they would both be gone already.

  4. This is the only kind of banana bread I make. I've made it for years and everyone loves it. It's so moist and tastes great warmed up.
