Hawaiian Banana Bread with Pineapple, Coconut & Macadamia Nuts is a delicious Hawaiian-inspired banana bread made with Dole crushed pineapple, coconut flakes, and chopped macadamia nuts.
This was a huge hit with my family and friends. My 5-year-old wanted to take it and share with his entire class. My neighbor was like, just give me the entire loaf. The bread was moist and the flavors were great together. I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but it worked in this. We'll definitely be making it again. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
Hawaii has some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life. From the fancy restaurants to the road shacks, the food there is indescribably good.
Maui Road To Hana Banana Bread Recipe
On a recent trip to Hawaii, I had some of the Best Grilled Banana Bread of my life at Kahuku Farms. For a list of all the delicious foods I ate in Hawaii, check out the 15 Best Things I Ate in 2022.
Every store, restaurant, and shack I visited served up some kind of pineapple and coconut dish. From Pineapple Fried Rice to Coconut Shrimp to Coconut Cocktails to garnishing every cocktail with pineapple, it was a no-brainer that I had to make Pineapple Coconut Banana Bread.
And once I visited Tropical Farms where the star ingredient was macadamia nut, I knew that would be my choice of nut in my Banana Bread because you can't possibly make Banana Bread without nuts. Right? Well, I don't know about you, but I love my nuts.
Maui's Best Banana Bread
I knew once I reached home, I was gonna make a Hawaiian-inspired Banana Bread, one that represents Hawaii. And that's how this Hawaiian Banana Bread recipe came to life.
Hawaiian Banana Bread is a variation of the traditional banana bread recipe that incorporates the flavors of Hawaii, in this case, pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nuts. These are the three most popular fruits and nuts I enjoyed on the island.
Just a note: if you do visit the island of Maui, make sure you indulge in Maui's Banana Bread which is apparently quite famous. When I do take my Maui vacation -someday, I plan on going to Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread which is supposedly the best banana bread on the island.

5. Combine your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl - all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix and set aside.

12. Use a clean knife to make sure the banana bread is not sticky on the inside. Allow your banana bread to cool completely and come to room temperature before cutting.
This Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread gives you 10 slices, you can slice them even further and end up with 20 smaller slices.
For Flax Egg - mix 1 tablespoon ground flax meal + 3 tablespoons water until it thickens. This ratio is equal to 1 egg. For this recipe, you need 2 eggs.
Kona Inn Banana Bread
Yes! Simply replace all-purpose white flour with gluten-free white flour. It's a 1:1 substitute. Also, make sure to use gluten-free baking powder.
Sugar in this recipe will help with the texture of the banana bread. You can certainly replace the sugar amount with honey or coconut sugar, but that'll certainly change the texture of this bread, not to mention, the color too.
If you want to cut down on sugar, feel free to omit the sugar completely since the banana and crushed pineapple already have a good amount of sugar. Again, by omitting sugar, the texture will be affected.
Hawaiian Banana Pineapple Bread
Yes. Absolutely. Just note, the muffins' bake time won't be 55 minutes. You definitely want to check the muffins at 20 minutes and every 5 minutes after that. To check if the muffins are done, perform a toothpick test.
Absolutely! That would be a great gift idea for Easter or Spring. Again, note the mini loaves' bake time won't be 55 minutes, but more like 20 minutes, hence start checking the mini loaves at the 20-minute mark and every 5 minutes thereafter.

This recipe is a great copycat of the banana bread they serve at Kona Inn.
The Kona Inn is a restaurant situated on the water in Kona, Hawaii. It began as a 20 room hotel in the 1920’s that attracted Marlin fisherman, and it was a solidly booked, popular place. It has transitioned into being a well-visited and highly regarded seafood restaurant, and is no longer a hotel. Nowadays, Kona Inn focuses on serving dinner and drinks. This Kona Inn Banana Bread is a nod to what they served long ago when the property hosted overnight guests.
This is not your normal banana bread recipe. It’s made with cake flour, so it’s more of a sweet, cakey treat than a bread. And it’s absolutely packed with banana- 3 cups, which is much more than usual. Kona Inn Banana Bread doesn’t rise high like the banana bread recipes you’re used to making. It’s a shorter more dense loaf, and it’s quite delicious!
Aloha Hawaiian Banana Bread Recipe
Green bananas, or bananas that are slightly green are not usually desirable to eat. Once a banana has turned yellow, it’s considered ripe enough to eat. When it begins to gain brown spots, that’s an indication that the sugar content in the banana is rising. I like to use bananas for banana bread when it has lots of brown spots.
If your bananas are becoming too ripe and you’re not ready to bake banana bread, you can always freeze mashed bananas to be used later. Measure out the desired amount of mashed banana according to your favoritebanana bread recipe and either put the measured amount in sandwich bags or plastic containers. Freeze. Whenyou are ready to bake banana bread, remove the mashed banana from the freezer, thaw, and use.
Sitting on your counter at room temperature, green or slightly green bananas will take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to ripen. To ripen more quickly, place bananas in a brown paper bag and close loosely. Ethylene will build up and circulate within the bag, speeding up the ripening process. You can add a ripe tomato to the bag to help speed up the process.
Banana Macadamia Nut Bread
Heat can speed up the process greatly, but bananas can’t be overly green to use heat to ripen. Put unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet andplace in an oven set at 300ºF. Keep an eye on them, and when the peels become shiny and black– they’re done! You can also try quick-ripening in the microwave. Poke a banana in a few spots with a fork or sharp knife. Microwave for 30 seconds. Check for softness. If not soft enough, microwave 30 more seconds or more until desired softness has been reached.
Wrap banana bread loaves in plastic wrap. Then put the wrapped banana bread loaves in a large zip baggie and freeze. That’ll keep the banana bread pretty well preserved in the freezer, and it can stay in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
