Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
8 ounces crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Icing

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease two 8x4 loaf pans with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and whisk until combined.
Using a standing mixer, cream the butter and sugars until creamy and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Batter will start to look really dry and crumbly.
Add in the pineapple, coconut and pecans and mix until combined.
Add in the mashed bananas.
Pour batter into loaf pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick or a knife comes out clean.
Let sit on a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Icing

Using a standing mixer, combine all ingredients except the pecans and mix until smooth and fluffy.
Using a rubber spatula, scoop some of the cream cheese frosting onto a cooled loaf and frost.
Sprinkle with some chopped pecans.
