Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup mashed bananas, about 2 large bananas
  • 8 oz. can crushed pineapple
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or neutral oil

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 180ºC (356ºF). Grease with butter a loaf pan and line with baking paper, set aside. Note: Alternatively, if you have a non-stick loaf pan, liberally grease it with butter and dust it with a light layer of flour. This will leave your finished bread with smooth sides. Set aside.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-size mixing bowl, add mashed bananas, crushed pineapple with all of the juice in the can, eggs, sugar and oil. Whisk until well combined.
  • Combine: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined, switch to a spatula to finish off mixing any remaining streaks of flour, being careful not to overmix as it can cause the bread to turn out tough and dense after baking.
  • Transfer Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean and the top springs back when pressed gently.
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
