Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with baking spray and set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine sugar, butter and brown sugar. Beat together on medium speed with a hand mixer until whipped and well combined.
- Add in the eggs and mix until just incorporated. Next, add in the banana, sour cream and vanilla and mix to combine. Add in crushed pineapple and mix to incorporate.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf tin and place into the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs and the loaf is golden on top. (If your bread is browning more than you like, you can cover the top with foil to prevent further browning.)
- Once baked, remove from the oven and place onto a wire cooling rack to cool. Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Storage: For the best results, place leftover pineapple banana bread into an airtight container or baggie, and store at room temperature for about four days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Easy Lifting: Line the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on each side, to help with an easy removal of the baked bread.
- Scraping Down the Mixing Bowl: When mixing up the batter, stop occasionally and scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula. This will ensure that all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Salted Butter: Unsalted butter may be used instead. If used, add 1⁄4 tsp of salt to the recipe.
- Mashed Banana: Unsweetened applesauce can be used instead. This will change the flavor of the bread of course, making it more lightly apple flavored than banana flavored.
- Sour Cream: Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt may be used instead.
