  2. Cream butter, eggs, brown sugar, bananas, applesauce and crushed pineapple with a mixer. Add baking soda, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and flour. Mix well.

    Sometimes that’s true because banana bread is a little bit dry in our mouths, so it doesn’t matter because the flavor is incomparable.m10m

    I made this banana bread today. I didn’t have any crushed pineapple, so I left it out. I was also out of milk chocolate chips. I had about a cup of Heath Brickle Chips. I added about half to the dough and the rest on top of the bread. WOW- whole new level of great! Thanks for the recipe!

    I made this recipe today as a muffin and put in the cream cheese filling from your pumpkin muffins. Really good, thanks again for such a great site!

    Do you think it would be possible to incorporate yogurt?

    I am really excited to try this! However, when you say substitute a cup of bananas with pineapple and applesauce, you mean only do 2 cups of bananas, and then 1/2 a cup of pineapples and 1/2 a cup of applesauce, or do 3 cups of bananas and THEN add the pineapple and applesauce?
