Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 tsp, baking soda

2 tsps. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 (8 1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained

1 cup mashed banana (about 3 small)

1/3 cup orange juice

1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)

3/4 cup sugar

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup chopped macadamia (pecans or walnuts work)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray one 9-inch loaf pan or 4 mini loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.

In a small bowl mix the dry ingredients together and set aside. Combine pineapple, banana and orange juice on another small bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar together, add eggs and beat well.

Add a small amount of the flour mixture alternately with the fruit mixture, mixing only enough to moisten the flour.

Stir in the nuts and pour batter into pan(s).

Bake for 55 mins to 65 mins (about 35 minutes for mini loaf pans). Test with toothpick.

Cool on wire rack 10 minutes and remove from pan and continue to cool on rack.

Adapted from a recipe from: A Taste of Aloha by The Junior League of Hawaii

Note: This fruit loaf is really nice and moist and has a pineapple-upside-down-cake-like texture. You can add 1/4 cup of sweetened flaked coconut to half the batter (so I had 2 mini loaves with coconut and 2 without). If you like coconut, add 1/2 cup to the recipe. The loaves with the coconut take longer to cook. Just check for doneness with a toothpick.

My Hawaiian banana bread is similar, with maraschino cherries. I bet the cherries would be a fantastic addition to this one.
Use 1/4-13 cup of chopped cherries.
I think the pineapple and bananas are a force to be reckoned with in the quick breads. You just can't beat them!
Will have to try your recipe! I know it will be great.

You know, I never even thought about adding maraschino cherries but, they would be a great addition. I LOVE maraschino cherries and I could add them to just about anything ;-) Thanks for the idea. I hope you try this recipe.
