3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add mashed bananas, 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained), and 1 teaspoon baking soda to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
