Recipe for Hawaiin Bannana bread
 

Recently there was a recipe for Hawaiin Banana bread on this forum. I copied the recipe but have now misplaced it. I don't remember the posters name and can't seem to find the thread.
Can anyone help?

Must use up these ripe bananas. LOL

Bonniebroad posted it. Search under her name

HAWAIIAN BANANA BREAD:

3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 and 1/4 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first 5 ingredients; stir in nuts. Combine remaining ingredients; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 3-inch loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and let cool on wire racks.

Many thanks for the quick response. Will get right on it!

Thanks, cmcfong! :-d

John, please let me know how you like it!

Is this it?

Yes it is!

Starrsville, just curious, how did you find it? Or better said, what did you type into the search box?

I clicked on bb's name and scanned through her threads til I found it. It wasn't that far down.

The search function hasn't worked well on recent posts for so long I didn't try that way.

Oh.
That's probably why I missed it, I was looking pretty far down. Thanks.

To me..what ya really need for that hawaiian taste is the apple bananas. sigh..maybe one day we'll be able to get them here on the mainland(without spending 50bucks at harryanddavid.com that is!).

Sea wahini,
I don't know where you live, but most Asian grocery market carry apple banana. I live in Houston and get them all the time.

Aloha

i live in the sf bay area..and believe me.. i've done alot of hunting around for this variety. We get many different sizes and colors of banana variety..some even look like the hawaii variety..but no dice on the actual type. sigh. I did find that online harryanddavid site does sell them, though. You're lucky to be able to get them! I will try more asian markets..good idea.

topping for Starrsville;

Gee, thanks! rb :-)

Thanks, actually, for topping, rb, since I have declared myself a "Foodie" and I love recipes. I will alter this one and coconut to make it seem more Hawaiian to me. Appreciate it :) I wonder if any of my 3 kids will like it. Hmmm, only 2 of the 3 like coconut but all 3 like bananas. Were they born that way?

Make sure you peel the bananas before you mash them. I forgot to!

:-d I can't believe this recipe is still whirling around here! I guess my tombstone will read, "Here lies Bonniebroad ... she sure made a lot of people fat with her Hawaiian Banana Bread!" :-d

do you ever have the problem where the bread is mushy in the center? I have a recipe I love and it tastes great, but for some reason, the center never gets totally baked. Am I over mixing? I will try this one and see if it is better. I was worried it would happen because there is a lot of liquid in it. Any tips Bonnie?

You and your Hawaiian Banana Bread.

Some of my favorite memories of Fodorville!
