Hawaiian Banana Bread with Coconut and Pineapple is moist and a tropical treat! This quick bread is full of coconut flakes, crushed pineapple & ripe bananas.Y’all, this tastes like a little slice of Hawaii came to the Midwest…A pineapple quick bread that is so easy it comes together in minutes, combined with chewy coconut and moist banana.Families, your kids will go nuts for this! Or should I say, bananas???!?!?!I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’m not really a banana lover but I LOVE this coconut banana bread. Like, love it so much I hurry I’ve been known to take the last piece which is supposed to be against the mom code.That’s how much I like it.Btw, did you know the Pioneer Woman doesn’t like bananas either? I like to think we’re besties that way. Right, Ree? I know you’re following me…Then, I couldn’t decide what category to put pineapple bread into….breakfasts, desserts, snacks?How about we just call it delicious???
