Moist pineapple banana bread laced with rum, vanilla and nutmeg and with bits of crushed pineapple throughout.
Oui Oui Oui. Count me in. Now don’t you want to enjoy a tropical breakfast right in the comfort of your home? And for an added bonus it is so easy to put together.
Whip up time -10 minutes or less.
I can’t tell you how many times I have made this recipe in the past couple of days and no one seems to be bothered by it. In fact, I have one last loaf hidden away in the freezer, if not “Big Me” (hubby) and “Mini me” (son) will not want to eat anything else.
Here is a picture of the banana bread right out of the oven – very moist and nice texture to it. See, I had to step out of the house in the middle of picture taking. What can I say, life happens! And it wasn’t happening with the pictures anyways.
So the rest of the images are those from the hidden loaf I had in the freezer. Just thought I should let you know.
If you have too many over ripe bananas don’t sweat it. Here are a few more recipes that you can try. This banana cake featured here, one of my childhood favorite here and last but not least these coconut chocolate banana muffin.
I hope you take the time to try one of these recipes. You would not regret it.
Enjoy!

Imma says
You are so sweet, thank you!
Tamara says
Imma, I just had to come back and leave a review. This was amazing! Delicious, tender, beautiful crumb. Husband and daughter, who detest banana bread, gobbled it up in 24 hours. Thank you! Making another tomorrow.
Imma says
Thank you so much, I am sure you would love all recipes once you try them. Keep loving:)
David Castro Jr says
Pineapple/Banana Bread: Is it necessary to add the Rum? Will you be able to taste the Rum?
Imma says
No you don’t have to put rum. It does add a nice touch, but it will be just as delicious without it.
Tammy says
I used 1/2 sugar and 1/2 100% maple with a TBS molasses. 1/4 more baking soda because of the maple syrup. Added walnuts, raisen. Great recipe
Amina says
Yup, you can customize it as per your own style. Thank you for the feedback:)
Catherine Maxey says
Great recipe. I used 75% of the sugar. Baked as muffins and they were done at 18 minutes. Large muffins, 12. Used 2tsp rum extract. 4T oil and 1 more egg. Used 1/2 cup buttermilk instead of sour cream and milk.
Deborah C Bequette Bertsch says
I doubled the recipe and was wonderful.
I use some pineapple chunks and chopped them into some pieces with the crushed pineapple to the measured amount.
Getting ready to make this again and share the family.

Imma Adamu says
Thank you so much! I’m glad you loved it!
Roni says
I’m always looking for different twists on the usual banana bread and this one scores huge with additions of pineapple and (spiced) rum. Couldn’t have asked for a more satisfying, tropical brunch treat as the first snow of the season falls. Thank you!
ImmaculateBites says
Great!Thanks for taking time out to share your thoughts.
Yasmine says
I am about to make this bread but only have apples can I substitute pineapple for the apples
ImmaculateBites says
Yes you sure can. Cut the apples pretty small
Yasmine says
I just finished making this bread and it is delicious. I subbed the pineapple with grated apples and it turned out great. It’s a bit too sweet for me next time I will lessen the amount of sugar
Chika says

Lylian says
What can I use in place of sour cream please?
ImmaculateBites says
Hi Lylian! You can substitute the sour cream with yoghurt. Do let me know how it works out for you.
Jeanne says
You can also use 1/4 c heavy whipping cream with 3/4 tsp lemon juice.
ImmaculateBites says
Great. Thanks for sharing Jeanne.
Diane says
Or just used whole milk with a a tsp. of whitelvinegar

KATHLEEN LATOUR says
Waiting for this to come out of oven. Made as instructed except added chopped maraschino cherries and chopped macadamia nuts. Only had dark spiced rum but used it anyway. Looks beautiful in the oven, nicely risen.
ImmaculateBites says
Awesome! You would love it, Kathleen! Thanks for stopping by!
BH says
Delicious! But need ideas on why it didn’t rise? Rather, it rose in the oven (I was watching) but then when cool, it flattened out and became more like fudge. Only substitutions I made: chopped fresh pineapple, vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream I didn’t have, almond milk instead of real milk. Loved the flavor and will make again, even if I get “fudge”! Thanks for sharing.
