I love this bread in the mornings with my coffee.  The pineapple just adds something making this bread extra special.  Children and adults will love this Hawaiian banana bread.  This is a wonderful bread to give as a gift to a neighbor or friend or take it to someone who is ill or not able to get out of the house.  You could double this recipe.  It keeps for several days in a cool place.  Make it for any gathering as a delicious treat your guests will love.
