Taste of Home Pineapple, Banana Bread

I love banana bread, don’t you? This is a nice twist on banana bread. I also think you could very easily add walnuts or pecans for a little more flavor. This makes two full size loaves, but I was making them for a gift so I made them in mini loaf pans and it made six! Plenty for me to share and one for us to try! The loaf I kept for us did not last 12 hours! This is a great, simple recipe that I will be making many more times!

INGREDIENTS
3 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups mashed banana’s (4-5 banana’s)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. In another bowl whisk the eggs, oil, vanilla, add pineapple and bananas mixing to combine. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into two greased 8 x 4 loaf pans. Bake for 60 – 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean. Cool for ten minutes before removing from pans to a wire rack.

Enjoy!
