Aloha Bread

1/2 c butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cups chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cups crushed pineapple

1. In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in banana, milk, orange peel and extracts.

2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the coconut, nuts and pineapple. Transfer to a creased 9- in. x 5-in. x 3-in loaf pan.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Note: I use a large muffin tin and large muffin cup papers and bake for 20 minutes.
