I just love a good bread for breakfast. They’re wonderful because you can make them in advance, they don’t have to be heated to be enjoyed, they’re wonderful gifts, they wrap and go easily, they’re great sides to a brunch and they can stand alone as the star…breads are just perfect.
I found this recipe on Pinterest a few months ago and decided to tweak and simplify it. My oh my, this bread was heavenly! Just read the ingredient list…and I promise, you’ll be swooning too…
Shopping List
1 stick of butter, melted and cooled
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
5 ripe bananas, coarsely mashed
1 (8 oz) can of crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup Eagle Brand milk
1 cup sweetened and flaked coconut
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray (I used Pam) one standard loaf pan.
Cream butter, 2 of the bananas and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer.
Mix in eggs. Then mix in the remaining 3 bananas, pineapple, Eagle Brand and coconut. Do not over-mix the batter.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder with a fork or whisk.
Fold the banana mixture into the bowl with your dry ingredients. Do not over-mix!
Pour batter into your prepared pan.
Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and let bread rest in the pan about 45 minutes. After that, flip bread out onto a serving plate.
This bread is so dense and moist! It was so delicious and perfect for breakfast!

OH MY! This is right up my alley! If you were a good fried, you would whip one up really fast and bring it to Jeni's birthday lunch today. I bet she likes coconut too. 🙂

This looks and sounds heavenly. Especially since I am eating my usual peanut butter toast right now for breakfast! 🙂 I just may have to spice things up for breakfast tomorrow!

This sounds amazing!! You can't go wrong with anything that has pineapple, coconut and bananas in it! I can't wait to make this!
Tiffany says
I like that it has bananas and pineapple in it — very tropical! And my favorite blend of flavors. Nice find!
jenny lopez says
How do you think it would taste without coconut? I am unfortunately allergic 🙁
Mix and Match Mama says
It would still be delicious without coconut! I promise!

Hi, If I use mini loaf pans, do you know what the cook time would be? Thank you!!
Mix and Match Mama says
For mini loaf pans, I would bake them 30 minutes. Check them with a toothpick before you remove them from the oven in case they need a few minutes more!

Would this work with Eagle Brand Fat Free Sweetened Condensed Milk?
Mix and Match Mama says
I don't usually recommend fat-free products. Reduced-fat works fine but fat-free doesn't have the same consistency or flavor. I'm sure it would still be delish though :). Let me know if you try it this way!

I made it with the fat-free because it was what I had on hand and what my store had. It worked but the "middle" section of the bread took longer to bake. It turned out delicious otherwise. Next time I'll make it with the regular when my store carries it again. Thank you! 🙂
