- Preheat steamer.
- Finely chop 1 cup dried banana chips using a food processor.
- Toast 1/2 cup slivered almonds. Combine the chopped banana chips, toasted almonds, and 1 cup shredded coconut in a bowl. Set aside.

- Assembly: Lay a softened corn husk flat. Spread 1 tablespoon of dough in the center.
- Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of the banana/almond mixture over the dough and top with a piece of diced pineapple.
- Spread another tablespoon of dough over the filling, fold the husk over the filling, and tie securely with husk strips.
- Repeat steps 10-12 until all tamales are assembled.
