Hawaiian Banana Bread

Recipe Description

This awesome Hawaiian Banana Bread has just what you crave this time of year: tropical flavors and a comforting treat that you can eat for breakfast. It is super moist, flavorful, and low on effort. With crushed pineapple, overripe bananas, and walnuts, this delicious banana bread is as good for an after-dinner dessert as it is for breakfast. If you don’t like walnuts, you can easily leave them out or swap them for your favorite nut.

Before you start the banana bread, preheat the oven and grease a loaf pan. Next, combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mash up the bananas and stir in the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir together until just combined. Now, stir in the walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden and the center is set. Let cool before cutting. Enjoy!

To make the Hawaiian Banana Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
