BANANA-PINEAPPLE BREAD

MAKES TWO 8-INCH LOAVES

I love banana bread. My mother found this recipe that includes crushed pineapple and it is very good.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped walnuts

3 large eggs, beaten

1 cup canola or vegetable oil

2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 5 medium bananas)

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease and flour two 8-inch loaf pans. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the walnuts. In another bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, mashed bananas, vanilla and pineapple until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Pour equal amounts into prepared pans. Bake for about 1 hour or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Place on rack and cool for 10 minutes; remove bread from pans and continue to cool.
