Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter softened
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar packed
2 eggs
2 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ cups bananas mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz crushed pineapple

Instructions

nstructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat two loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugars. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. The batter will still be kind of crumbly at this point.
Stir in pineapple, coconut, pecans, and mashed banana.
Scoop batter into prepared pans and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of each loaf comes out clean.

To Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

Beat together all frosting ingredients (except pecans) until smooth and fluffy.
When bread has completely cooled, spread frosting generously to coat. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
