Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.5 cups crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4
Add the eggs, mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no pockets of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Step 6
If using nuts, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans at this stage.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
