I got this one from Sept/Oct 2005 isuse of Home Cooking, I went looking through my old mags for some banana recipes being sick of the current recipes I use.I've had a lot of bananas to use up lately so wanted something different and this one looked interesting.

I didn't have a 20 oz can of pineapple so I used a 14 oz and it worked great! I can't imagine how much moister this loaf would be if I used more. It's got great flavor and texture. I of course did not sure the walnuts and it didn't take away from the recipe at all. This is a 5 star recipe in my eyes.
