Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugars, egg, and oil; beat with an handheld mixer until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until combined. Fold in the coconut, pineapple, and chopped pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire baking rack before frosting.

Frosting:
Beat the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon; beat until combined. Spread evenly over the top of the cooled loaf. Sprinkle on chopped pecans.

12 servings.

Tip: The bread can be made up to a month in advance and placed in the freezer in an airtight container. But, don’t make the cream cheese frosting until ready to serve. It won't hold up in the freezer.
