Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

For the Cinnamon Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
    • In a separate bowl, mix eggs, oil, vanilla, mashed bananas, and pineapple. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the nuts.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Frosting:
    • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, beating until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Frost and Serve:
    • Spread the cinnamon frosting over the cooled bread. Slice and serve with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • For extra texture, toast the nuts before adding them to the batter.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Let the bread sit at room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
