Coleen's Banana Pineapple Bread

School is finally back in session and boy is that ever a good thing! There are 2 hour delays for the rest of the week but hey, that works for me! Needless to say my son is not happy. He's just gotten so used to being home. Not only that but the poor thing has a report due and they have to present it orally. Why do they have these things? I absolutely hated getting up in front of the class to present a project. Awful. I can still remember how nervous I would get.

This delicious banana bread recipe comes from Coleen. She has one of my very favorite blogs and her recipes are wonderful. Please check her out if you haven't already. The bread is so flavorful and moist. It's a little different than your average banana bread since it contains pineapple and has coconut extract. Enjoy!
