Pineapple banana nut bread

I double the recipe and use two large loaf pans. It seems to come out better when doubled.

1 cup all purpose flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹⁄₈ teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
¹⁄₃ cup canola oil
²⁄₃ cup sugar
1 medium mashed banana
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained. (Canned Pineapple in it's own juice, not the one in syrup)
¹⁄₄ cup chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. Combine the egg, oil, sugar, banana and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the pineapple and nuts.

Pour into two greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Any room for maple syrup in that? Maybe replace the sugar?

I think you could replace the sugar for maple syrup. I don't think it would hurt, and it might even be better. But just in case don't blame me if it comes out like shit.

I printed that recipe out, it sounds wonderful. It's calling for rain on Sunday so I may make it then. Thanks!

NightOwl, will you put your bread recipes in here?

Fresh baked bread is like manna from heaven.

A mighty good question, I found a guide to natural sugars and it is helpful on how to go about replacing refined sugar. Here's the link to it.

Sally, Just love your bread recipe imagine pineapple! I love it, I will try it soon.

Duchess, here's the Zucchini Parmesan Bread. The notion came to me with so many zucchini on hand & a jar of Mama Fancesca's Parmesan & Red Pepper. The cheese gave the bread a great kick!

¹⁄₃ cup olive oil,
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
¹⁄₃ cup milk
2 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 teaspoons baking powder Coarse salt and ground pepper
¹⁄₂ pound (about 1 medium) zucchini, coarsely grated

Preheat oven 350 degrees
Grease 9 x 5 loaf pan dust with flour

In a small bowl, whisk oil, milk, and eggs.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, Parmesan, baking powder, 1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt, and ¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper; mix in zucchini, then egg mixture until just moistened (batter will be very thick, like biscuit dough)

Transfer batter to prepared pan; press in gently. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes (tent with foil if loaf starts to brown too quickly). Cool 15 minutes in pan; turn out loaf onto a rack to cool completely.
