Long story short, there was a trip being planned to Hawaii that I would currently be on. But, then this virus took over the world. So. The trip to Hawaii didn’t happen this summer! That being said, a few recipes were planned and made well ahead of time so that I would be ahead on things before going on vacation.

I ended up trading my Hawaiian excursion for visiting my mother. And to be honest? Visiting her safely is way better than any tropical paradise. So, after six months of being cooped up in the house, I decided it was time to get out for a little bit. But. You still get this amazing Hawaiian Banana Bread.

So what makes this banana bread ‘Hawaiian’ anyway? Well, that’s easy! Probably the pineapple and coconut that I loaded it up with. And I can’t even begin to tell you how damn amazing this bread is either. Here’s to hoping that maybe I’ll get to make it for my mom this week!

Even though I am not and never have been a fan of shredded coconut, I have to say… this Hawaiian Banana Bread has to be one of my all time favorite banana breads ever. And THAT is a lot for me to say.
