Notes

It's important to drain the excess pineapple juice, otherwise your loaf will be very soft in the centre.
You will need two small bananas for this recipe. The browner the bananas, the better.
This recipe is freezer friendly.
You can make this recipe in a different size cake tin, however please not that the cooking time will vary.
You could add a simple icing to this loaf  but I prefer it without and it sure tastes delicious when eaten warm with a glass of milk.
This recipe makes a large loaf, so I like to cut each slice in half for the kids, this also makes it the perfect size for a lunch box treat.
