Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar
- 1 cup
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, melted
- Egg
- 1, large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Ripe bananas
- 2, mashed

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, drained crushed pineapple, melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve your Pineapple and Banana Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain or with a spread of butter for an extra treat!
Tips
- For added texture and flavor, consider folding in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking.
- To enhance the tropical flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract along with the vanilla.
- Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
