Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained (keep some of the juice)

Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in banana, milk, orange peel and extracts.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in coconut, nuts and pineapple. Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Approx. 50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire.

While cooling, take 1 t orange zest, and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add just enough of the pineapple juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over the warm bread.

Karen's Note: I cut the batter in half and made two smaller loafs. It baked quicker.
