Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe banana
  • 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
  2. Stir sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth, then mix in mashed banana and drained pineapple.
  3. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until no flour remains; stir in nuts if using.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, pour in the batter, and bake 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, turn out onto a rack, and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Let the loaf cool fully before slicing, or it will crumble around the knife. An overnight rest at room temperature actually deepens the banana flavor, making it even better the next day.
