Ingredients
3 bananas, ripe, crushed
20 ounce tidbits pineapple, drained
½ cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a loaf pan with butter and coat with sugar. Set aside.
2. Place the peeled bananas in a large mixing bowl and mash well with a fork or masher.
3. Add the softened butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
4. Sprinkle in baking powder and baking soda. Add flour gradually and stir just until combined.
5. Fold in drained pineapple gently using a spatula.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes, checking for doneness at 50 minutes.
7. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover with foil to prevent over-browning.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Serve warm or let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
Notes
Use bananas that are spotted but not fully blackened for best texture.
Drain pineapple tidbits well before adding.
To make muffins, bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes instead of using a loaf pan.
