- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and smooth.
- Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas, mixing until fully combined.
Step 4: Fold in the Tropical Add-Ins
- Stir in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and nuts.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender loaf.
Step 5: Bake the Bread
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
- Pair with coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
