Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread

It cracks me up that putting pineapple in anything automatically makes it "Hawaiian". When I worked in a nursery, one of the sweet mothers would bring us this banana bread and we would devour it in seconds. I had to have the recipe and I have been making it ever since.

Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread

3 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (I used walnuts)

3 eggs-beaten

1 cup vegetable oil

2 cups ripe mashed bananas (I put 4 small bananas)

1 8 ounce can of crushed pineapple-drained

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine first 5 ingredients. Stir in nuts. Combine remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until moistened. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes. Then eat it! It's so nummy num!
