This recipe is almost like my banana nut bread recipe but it has a twist of crushed pineapple.
(This recipe makes 2 loaves.)

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1 cup of chopped nuts
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil
• 2 cups of mashed ripe bananas
• 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Combine dry ingredients.

Stir in nuts and set aside.

Combine remaining ingredients.

Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.

Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 9x5x3-inch loafpans.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

Enjoy!
