Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.

Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Stir in mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt).

Combine the Ingredients:

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake the Bread:

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Sprinkle with extra shredded coconut and nuts (if using).

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool & Serve:

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Use coconut oil instead of butter for extra coconut flavor.

Swap walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
