Ingredients Needed For Hawaiian Banana Bread

Here are the ingredients to make Hawaiian banana bread at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full instructions.

• salted butter– I generally use salted butter for all of my recipes, unsalted works fine as well.
• granulated sugar– This fine sugar gives the bread its sweetness.
• over ripe bananas– You’ll know your bananas are ripe by the black spots on the peel. The darker, the more sweet and soft the bananas will be.
• large eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs in my recipes.
• pure vanilla extract– For best tasting results use pure vanilla.
• all-purpose flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the banana bread.
• ground cinnamon– Cinnamon adds a nice spice to the banana bread.
• kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse sugar commonly used in cooking and baking.
• baking soda– Baking soda helps the bread rise during baking.
• shredded sweetened coconut– Find shredded coconut in the baking section of the grocery store.
• chopped macadamia nuts, salted– Macadamia nuts add a nice texture to the Hawaiian bread.
• white chocolate chips– White chips are a nice sweet addition to the banana bread.
