Ingredients

2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.

Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your Pineapple Banana Bread!
