{Tropical} Banana Bread

Banana Bread with a twist. {Tropical} Banana Bread has pineapple and coconut added to make this traditional classic even more scrumptious!

Are you always looking for something to make with those over ripe bananas sitting on the counter? We love recipes with bananas in our house so I usually deliberately buy extra bananas to let ripen on my counter. My Easy Banana Bread is my go to recipe but today I was in the mood to jazz things up a bit. I went to the pantry and saw my cans of crushed pineapple and shredded coconut stacked on the shelf and knew immediately it could be a magical combination. Then I added some white chocolate chips for some extra sweetness, topped it with a graham cracker coconut crumb topping and my creation was complete. I was happy I made enough for two loaves because my daughter and I almost wiped one loaf out by the end of the day!
