Banana Pineapple Loaf

Ba'nanna'-'nanna' Pineapple Loaf

	This super moist banana loaf has pieces of juicy pineapple throughout. This is a two-loaf recipe allowing one loaf to be frozen. Prep:10 minutes Cook:70 minutes

Ingredients:

3 cups All Purpose Flour 750 mL
2 cups sugar 500 mL
1 tsp. baking powder 5 mL
1 tsp. baking soda 5 mL
1 tsp. salt 5 mL
1 cup undrained pineapple, crushed 250 mL
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups Canola Oil 375 mL
2 cups ripe bananas, mashed 500 mL
2 tsp. vanilla 10 mL

Directions:

Combine first 5 dry ingredients. Beat remaining ingredients together in a large bowl until blended. Add dry ingredients, stirring until thoroughly combined. Spread in two greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" (1.5 L) loaf pans, dividing evenly.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in pan, then remove to rack and cool completely.
Less Fat: Use 1 cup oil instead of the 1-1/2 cups that the recipe calls for. Cutting the oil does not alter the moistness.
Less Fat: You can also use 3/4 cup Egg Beaters instead of whole eggs. Can't tell the difference, except somewhat fluffier.
Optional addition: 1 cup of coconut stirred into batter, and reserve a little extra to sprinkle on top. If using fresh coconut add a little fine sugar mixed into the coconut topping.
