Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the coconut cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and crushed pineapple.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
