Ingredients
  

  • 255 grams 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 200 grams 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 180 milliliters 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 120 grams 1/2 cup canned pineapple chunks, undrained
  • 60 grams 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 40 grams 1/4 cup raisins
  • 7.5 milliliters 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 5 grams 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.25 grams 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 grams 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Add the beaten eggs and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  • Fold in the mashed bananas, undrained pineapple chunks, chopped pecans, raisins, and vanilla extract. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. Start checking for doneness at around 45 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; it should come out clean.
  • If the bread starts browning too quickly, cover the top with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  • Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  • Serve and savor the delightful flavors of Hummingbird Bread.
