How to Make Bea's Hawaiian Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two loaf pans by lining the bottoms with wax paper and greasing and flouring the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moist. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
