Best Banana Recipes: Pineapple Banana Bread (+More Great Ideas!)

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 large bananas

  (browned, overripe)
• 20 ounce crushed pineapple

  (or tidbits - 1 can, drained)
• ½ cup butter

  (melted and cooled - 1 stick butter)
• 2 large eggs

  (room temperature)
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar

  (packed)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a loaf
  pan.
• 2 Place the peeled overripe bananas (2-3 large bananas or 3-4 medium bananas) into
  a large mixing bowl and mash using a fork or masher.
  
  Add the drained crushed pineapple, which will yield approximately 1 cup of
  pineapple. Then add the ½ cup of melted butter and mix.
• 3 To the wet mixture, add the 2 large eggs, ½ cup each of granulated sugar and
  packed light brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
• 4 Mix in the 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda into the wet mixture, then add the 1 ½
  cups of all-purpose flour and mix just enough so that the flour is fully
  combined into the batter.
• 5 Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and bake in the middle of the
  center oven rack (or down one notch to prevent the top of the loaf from
  cracking). Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55-65 minutes. *Check your
  loaf at 50 minutes of baking to make sure that it is not browning too rapidly.
  Cover with a loose square of aluminum foil if needed.
• 6 Remove from the oven when done and allow the pineapple banana bread loaf to cool
  in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then either serve warm or transfer to a wire
  cooling rack to cool completely before storing.
