This recipe has been a family favorite for several years. The addition of coconut, orange peel, pineapple and nuts gives a new twist to a loaf of banana bread. It's so good I sometimes serve slices of it for dessert. -Lanita Anderson, Chesapeake, Virginia

Really moist and fresh tasting. I think next time I will drain the pineapple though. I don't like a quick bread recipe unless it is moist but this was almost too dense.

This is banana nut bread with pineapple and coconut added. It is very good but I still prefer my usual banana bread recipe. I am not against making this again, but I don't know that I will make the effort to.

I make quick breads to give as Christmas presents and this is the one that is requested over and over.

I took some other viewers advice and added the juice with the crushed pineapple and also added some halved maraschino cherries. I left out the coconut because I am the only one in the family that likes it. This was like a glorified banana bread. My family thought the bread was very good. Next time I think I will quaarter the cherries. I also baked in 2 4"x7" pans for 45 minutes at the suggestion of another viewer.

I make muffins out of this recipe and freeze them for my kids' recess snack. They are absolutely delicious.

This bread was great, but I baked it only for one hour and 5 minutes, I did not drain the prineapple and it was very moist, I also used macadamia nuts. Perfect

I entered this bread in our local county fair and took home a blue ribbon! I like the idea of adding cherries, I will try that the next time I make this!
