Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the Banana Nut Pineapple Bread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
