Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prepare for baking.
Mash the Bananas:

In a mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Mix Wet Ingredients:

Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Incorporate Baking Soda and Salt:

Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, and stir to combine.
Add the Flour:

Stir in the all-purpose flour until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
Fold in the Mix-ins:

Gently fold in the shredded coconut and drained crushed pineapple for a tropical flavor boost.
Pour into the Pan:

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake the Bread:

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60–65 minutes.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Cool the Bread:

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy this moist, tropical Hawaiian Banana Bread with hints of coconut and pineapple—perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack!
