Description
A deliciously moist and flavorful Hawaiian Sourdough Banana Bread enhanced with macadamia nuts, pineapple, and coconut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar (220g)
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature (113g)
- 2 eggs (100g)
- 1 2/3 cups sifted flour (230g)
- 1 tsp baking soda (4g)
- 1/4 tsp salt (2g)
- 1/3 cup discard (100g)
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped dry roasted (65g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (4g)
- 1 cup mashed bananas (250g)
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained (145g)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, sweetened (25g)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream room-temperature butter and sugar on medium speed.
- Once combined, add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time. Continue to beat on medium speed until it is light, fluffy, and pale yellow in color.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sourdough discard to the egg mixture. Occasionally stop mixing to scrape the sides of the bowl. Mix until all the flour has been combined with the wet ingredients.
- Next, add the chopped macadamia nuts and vanilla extract.
- Lastly, add the mashed banana, crushed pineapple (make sure to drain the extra pineapple juice), and coconut flakes to the batter. Mix on medium until just combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the batter to a greased 9×5 loaf pan. Sprinkle with additional chopped macadamia nuts, if desired. Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The internal temperature of a baked banana bread loaf should be between 200-205 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure that the crushed pineapple is drained well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Customize with additional nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
