- 2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmet
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, ensuring all sides are coated to prevent sticking.
- Combine in mixing bowl
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well using a whisk until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Optional - add crunch
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans to add some extra texture to your banana pineapple bread.
- Transfer mixture to loaf pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Rest and cool
After the brief cooling period, transfer the banana pineapple bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
- Serve
Enjoy your delicious homemade Banana Pineapple Bread with a hot cup of coffee or tea, or pack it in your lunchbox for a delightful treat on the go!
