Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, grated carrots, and crushed pineapple, then add coconut flakes, raisins, walnuts, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, place a halved banana on top.
  5. Bake for about 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Using very ripe bananas is key for sweetness and moisture. Avoid over-mixing to keep a light texture.
