Mix to combine.Add in 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda into the wet mixture and stir to evenly distribute it throughout the wet batter.Next, add 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and mix together so that the flour is fully combined into the batter.

Your tasty pineapple banana bread is absolutely wonderful served on its own, whether warm or right out of the fridge! Top a slice with my simple chantilly whipped cream for an out-of-this-world dessert! Enjoy!

🥡 Storing & Reheating You can refrigerate or freeze this bread although because of the high fruit content of this quick bread, keeping it in the fridge is my preferred method of storage. Refrigeration Store any leftover pineapple banana bread on the countertop in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. In general, this is the best and easiest way to store any banana bread. If wrapped securely in cling film, then stored in an airtight container, your banana bread can last in the refrigerator for a week and possibly longer. Due to the air circulation in refrigerators, your bread can dry out and go stale quickly when refrigerated. That’s why it’s important to wrap and seal the remaining loaf securely. Freezer For freezing the best method is to wrap your pineapple banana bread in a layer of cling film and a layer of foil around that (wrap and seal the loaf securely) and then place it into a large ziplock type of bag and press out all the air. This method works and keep away the dreaded freezer burn. Freeze no more than 3 months. 📋 Recipe
