Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mashed bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
• 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup 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.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Step 5

Add the mashed bananas and drained crushed pineapple to the wet mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using nuts, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve plain, or with a pat of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
