Prepare the Bread Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix in the crushed pineapple and mashed bananas until smooth.
Mix and Fold: Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans and shredded coconut if using.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting: While the bread cools, beat together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then mix in cinnamon and vanilla extract until smooth.
Frost and Serve: Spread the cinnamon cream cheese frosting over the cooled bread. Slice and enjoy!
