Banana Pineapple Bread image

This is so good, a must try. I like bananas and pineapple so I modified a banana bread recipe to include pineapple, it tookk a few tries but this is what me and a friend came up with. It has the right amount of sweetness, full banana flavor and a hint of pineapple, just enough to balance out the flavors. The pineapple isn't enough to overwhelm the bread but gives it just an essence, you just have to try it :)

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter (or oleo)
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, beaten
1 2/3 cups mashed bananas (very overripe)
2/3 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (or choiceof nut optional)

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 350.
  • grease and flour a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
  • in a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  • drain crushed pineapple, I do this with a wire mesh strainer and the back of a spoon, or you can squeeze out the liquid by hand, you don't have to squeeze or drain it dry, just so long you get most liquid out, measure 2/3 cup of drained pineapple, packed down.
  • In medium bowl cream the butter and sugar until creamy
  • Add eggs, mashed bananas, pineapple and vanilla and mix until well blended.
  • Pour banana mixture and pecans into flour mixture, scraping the bowl and stir until the flour is well moistened, don't stir too much, but until well moistened.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, turn over onto the wire rack to remove and let cool completely , wrap and store in the refridgerator.
