Ingredients

1 1⁄2 cups mashed ripe banana
1 1⁄4 cups granulated sugar
1 can crushed pineapple, undrained (8 ounce)
1⁄2 cup buttermilk
1⁄2 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp rum flavoring or vanilla
2 1⁄2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 ⁄2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 ⁄2 cup flaked coconut

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F and spray a bread pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the bananas, sugar, pineapple, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and rum flavoring.
In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and coconut.
Make a well in the center of the flour and add the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, but do not overmix.
Pour into the bread pan and place in the oven. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Check at least 3 spots. When the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
Let cool before slicing for best results.
