Hawaiian Banana Bread with Pineapple and Coconut recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

This is a light and fluffy banana bread, flavored with a hint of pineapple and a sprinkling of coconut. Hawaiian muffins have been a family favorite for a number of years and I’m excited to finally have a gluten free version that tastes every bit as delicious as the original. These muffins disappeared in less than a day and my kids have already asked me to make them again.

  7. I've been looking for a gluten-free zucchini bread recipe and couldn't find any. I've made many of your GF desserts and they always turn out great, so I knew I could convert this one to zucchini bread. I omitted the banana, pineapple and coconut and added 1 1/2tsp xanthan gum, 220g shredded zucchini and choc chips. The first time I made the bread, I added the entire bag of choc chips...TOO chocolatey! But otherwise, great!! The second time, I added 1 rounded cup of choc chips. Still a little too chocolatey, but much better!!!

    • Both almond flour and coconut flour will dramatically affect the texture of these muffins. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend either of them for this recipe as it is written. You'll need to adjust the amounts for the other flours and it will likely require a few tests to get the same results.

      I haven't tested the recipe that way myself, so I can't be more helpful. If you do try it, let me know what works for you!
