Bananas were recently 18 cents/lb at Aldi so I bought a bunch. I picked out yellow ones and green ones. They didn't have as many green ones as I would have liked, but I bought what I could. I guess you have figured out where I am going with this story. Right? I had five bananas not real ripe but riper than I will eat them. My husband likes them that way, but I didn't give him the option to enjoy them.
Instead I found this recipe in my Tasteful Treasures from the Horse and Buggy Country of Copewango Valley, New York for Pineapple Banana Bread. It calls for 2 cups mashed bananas which is just what I had. Most recipes call for only 1 cup of mashed bananas but since this makes 2 loaves ... It also calls for 2 cups of sugar which sounds like a lot, but if you consider that it makes 2 loaves that actually isn't much. Still, I decided to reduce the sugar calories and used only 1 cup of stevia/sugar baking blend since I planned to keep the second loaf. I'm sure the volunteers at H(illcrest) P(latte) C(ounty) Thrift Shop would have enjoyed the extra loaf, but we haven't had much sweet stuff in the house to eat lately so I wanted to keep one loaf. (As it turned out, the loaf was all gone (eaten) easily within two hours of my getting there.)
It is super moist and I love the pineapple and banana together.
