Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 medium Ripe Bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup Crushed Pineapple (with juice)
  • 1/3 cup Organic Sunflower Oil
Mix-Ins
  • 1/2 cup Macadamia Nuts (chopped)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Dry roast the 1/2 cup of macadamia nuts in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. After toasting, chop them and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, crushed pineapple with its juice, and sunflower oil until smooth and fully blended.
Mixing
  1. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Stop mixing once no dry flour remains.
  2. Fold in the toasted chopped macadamia nuts and unsweetened coconut flakes.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Slice and enjoy once fully cooled.
