For an extra touch, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Be sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. The bread is even better the next day, after the flavors have had time to meld.
Escape to a tropical paradise with every slice of this Banana Pineapple Bread. The tanginess of pineapple perfectly complements the sweetness of ripe bananas, resulting in a moist and flavorful loaf that's impossible to resist. This is not just bread; it's a vacation for your taste buds!
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, mashed bananas, vegetable oil, applesauce, crushed pineapple (with its juice), eggs, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just blended. Be careful not to overmix. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. (Pouring time: 2 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. (Baking time: 50-60 minutes)
Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (Cooling time: 60 minutes)
For an extra touch, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Be sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. The bread is even better the next day, after the flavors have had time to meld.
