Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease two loaf pans.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Beat together the butter sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Next beat in your vanilla and yogurt.

By hand or with your mixer add in the bananas. Once fully incorporated add in your flour mixture until just combined. Then stir in the lemon zest, coconut and macadamia nuts and pineapple if using.

Divide the batter between your two pans and bake the loaves for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick (or knife, whatever you want) inserted comes out clean.

Cool your loaves on wire wracks until the loaves are cool enough to handle… then eat!
