Hawaiian Banana Bread

ahhhh, memories of Hawaii. The drive to Hana has many banana bread stands and I usually stop at at least two - for research purposes only...

Here is the closest recipe I have found for my favorite!

3 c. flour
3/4 t. salt
2 c. sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1 1/4 c. chopped pecans (or macadamia nuts)
3 eggs
1 c. vegetable oil
2 c. mashed bananas
1 8oz can crushed pineapples (drained)
2 t. vanilla

preheat oven to 350

combine flour, salt, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon in large bowl. Mix in nuts. In mixer bowl combine remaining ingredients. Stir in dry ingredients until moistened. Spoon batter into 2 greased/floured loaf pans.

bake 1 hour 15 mins. Cool for 10 mins or so then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
