How to Make Banana Pineapple Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, store the Banana Pineapple Nut Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
