This Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread is so moist and delicious. Great for gift giving, the combination of pineapple, coconut and cherries is insanely delicious.
I want you to go bananas, to-day! Okay, I really just want you to go buy yourself four bananas, and do it today. Don’t eat them yet…and if you have to do what I do, make a sign warning off anyone(husband!) who might not listen when you tell them HANDS OFF.You’ll want to make this INCREDIBLE Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread as soon as you can, but very ripe bananas are needed before you can even start. In fact, maybe just buy two bunches and freeze the second, because this bread won’t last long in any kitchen.
I discovered the recipe many years ago and tried several versions until this stood out as a clear winner. You won’t want to change one thing about the ingredients. If you don’t like nuts, you may omit the walnuts but nothing else, trust me. I tried adding more pineapple, less pineapple, no coconut, no cherries, and kept coming back to the perfect combination I’m sharing with you now…
Hawaiian Banana Pineapple Bread
Not only is this bread pretty, it’s so full of flavor and moist texture, I’m warning you, it’ll be hard to eat “just a bite”. Also, it needs no adornment whatsoever but you could glaze the top or sprinkle some powdered sugar over it, but why?… This is divine just as you see it.
The recipe makes two nice size loaves, but you can also make one loaf and 12 muffins if you want the option of popping a few in a bag on-the-go. Perfect for gift giving; just be sure to include a copy of the recipe.
The combination of bananas, maraschino cherries, crushed pineapple and coconut adds a moistness that keeps getting better for days after you bake the bread. And walnuts add the perfect chunky bite. I melt coconut oil to add to the recipe for even more intense tropical flavor; use your own preference for oil here, but do not substitute with applesauce. This is not the time for that.

I mentioned how perfect this bread is for gift giving but if that’s your intent, be sure to save some for your own house. When I made the loaf and muffins you see here, the guys at my house
With me not to share any of it! I kept telling them it was too much for us, and they swore that they needed every bit of it (It’s been a while since I last made it). So to you who were going to be benefactors the other day, I’m ripening more bananas as we speak so don’t worry, Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread is in your future.
I hope you try this bread soon. It’s delicious and appropriate any time of year and with any meal of the day or all by itself. Just make sure there’s enough to share because stingy behavior seems to be a side effect.

My preference is one regular loaf and 12 muffins.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.
Tropical Pineapple 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.
Tropical Coconut Banana Bread With Rum

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.

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.
Gluten Free Tropical Banana 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.
