Preparation

Step 1

For macaroon mixture, beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until well blended. Add egg; mix well. Combine coconut, oats, flour and baking powder. Combine milk and vanilla; add to the sugar mixture alternately with coconut mixture (mixture will appear curdled).

Spread in a well-greased 13x9 baking pan. Bake at 325 for 25-30 mins. or until edges are golden brown. Cool completely; crumble. Set aside 1/4 cup for topping.

Just before serving; toss bananas with pineapple juice. Ina 2 1/2 qt. serving bowl, layer a third of the macaroon crumbs, whipped topping and bananas. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with remaining reserved crumbs.
