1 teaspoon baking soda

→ Wet Ingredients
07 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
08 -
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
09 -
1 cup vegetable oil
10 -
3 eggs, beaten
11 -
2 cups mashed overripe bananas
→ Mix-ins
12 -
1 cup flaked coconut
13 -
1 cup diced maraschino cherries
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and let it preheat. Grab two 9x5 inch pans and grease them up.
02 -
Toss the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon into a big bowl. Stir them up well.
03 -
Dump the nuts, eggs, mashed bananas, oil, pineapple, vanilla, cherries, and coconut into the dry mixture. Stir gently—don’t overdo it.
04 -
Split the batter evenly into the greased pans. Bake for about an hour. It’s ready when a toothpick pushed into the middle comes out clean.
05 -
Let the loaves sit in their pans for 10 minutes. Move them to a cooling rack after that to finish cooling before slicing them up.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep your loaves fresh by wrapping up cooled ones in plastic wrap and foil. They freeze well!
02 -
Toasting the walnuts ahead of time brings out the best flavor.
