½ C. (1 stick) butter, softened

1 C. sugar

2 eggs

1 C. mashed banana

¼ C. milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 C. flour

½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 Tbsp. grated orange peel

1 C. flaked coconut

½ C. macadamia nuts

½ C. crushed pineapple, drained

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9×5- inch loaf pan, or 2 small ones. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in banana, milk, orange rind, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until just moistened. Fold in coconut, nuts, and pineapple. Turn into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (start checking after 1 hour).
