I didn't have enough time to make a loaf so I made them into muffins. It took half the time to bake and they were delicious.

I cooked this recipe according to directions, however the bottom of the bread stuck to the pan. I've recently heard you should put a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper in the bottom of the pan even if you have greased and floured it to prevent sticking. My mother used waxed paper to line the bottom of her cake pans years ago .

The added pineapple kept the bread moist. Makes me mad when my banana bread turn out dry. Great addition! I think next time I will cut the sugar in half. It was too sweet for me. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper.

This was a big hit at my house. I altered the recipe a little in that I only put in 3/4 c of oil and increased the pineapple to a 14 oz tin. I used Pampered Chef's Korintje Cinnamon in the loaves, and sprinkled their Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle of top...Also I added 3/4 cup of pineapple as well. Delicious!!

I have been making a recipe just like this one for over a decade. I've even left the pineapple out and altered the recipe with 1 cup oil and 1/2 cup water. also vanilla is 1 1/2 teaspoons. Such an incredible bread. If you ever have the Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus in the pantry use that instead of the plain Cinnamon... oh my God the end result is fantastic.

This bread is delicious. I brought one loaf to work and it was gone within an hour. I added 1/2 cup of coconut to the batter and sprinkled chopped macadaemia nuts over the top of each loaf before baking for fun. Not necessary, but I had it on hand.

a new family favorite! Pineapples aren't overbearing, but rather taste like bits of apples. I made 6 loaves today to freeze some.
