  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the mashed bananas to the wet mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add the pineapple and coconut: Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
