Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1⁄2 cups mashed ripe banana
  • 1 1⁄4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, undrained (8 ounce)
  • 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
  • 1⁄2 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp rum flavoring or vanilla

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1⁄2 cup flaked coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 350°F and spray a bread pan with cooking spray.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the bananas, sugar, pineapple, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and rum flavoring.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and coconut.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the bread pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Check for doneness: To test, insert a toothpick into at least 3 spots in the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool before slicing for best results.
