Ingredients

3 ripe bananas (plus 1 extra for topping, sliced)
1/2 cup crushed pineapple (lightly drained)
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) or neutral oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter (or oil), vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple. Stir until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently stir in the shredded coconut.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Add banana slices on top of the batter.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
