#### Ingredients:

- **1/2 cup butter**, softened

- **1 very ripe banana**, mashed

- **1 cup crushed pineapple** (do not drain)

- **2 cups all-purpose flour**

- **1 tsp baking powder**

- **1/2 tsp baking soda**

- **1/4 tsp salt**

- **1/4 cup shredded coconut**

#### Preparation:

1. **Preheat Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. **Cream Butter and Sugar:**

   - In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. **Add Eggs:**

   - Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

4. **Incorporate Banana and Pineapple:**

   - Stir in the mashed banana and the crushed pineapple with its juice until well combined.

5. **Combine Dry Ingredients:**

   - In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

6. **Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:**

   - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

7. **Add Coconut:**

   - Fold in the shredded coconut flakes gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. **Prepare Loaf Pan:**

   - Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

9. **Bake:**

   - Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

10. **Cool and Serve:**

    - Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
