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???
