- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the tropical flavors of Hawaiian Banana Bread!
