Pineapple Banana Loaf

There were some ripe bananas at home that needed to be used so I decided to make one of my favourite loaves: Pineapple Banana Loaf.  The loaf is so flavourful and moist!

Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup undrained, crushed pineapple
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups canola oil
2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 5 bananas)
2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:
1.  Combine first 5 dry ingredients.  Beat remaining ingredients together in large bowl until blended.
2.  Add dry ingredients, stirring until thoroughly combined.
3.  Spread in two greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans.
4.  Bake at 350F for 60-70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5.  Cool 15 minutes in pan, then remove to rack and cool completely.
