Cherry Pineapple Banana Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
Beat white sugar, brown sugar, butter, and applesauce together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat egg and egg whites into sugar mixture; stir in bananas, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix flour, alternating with buttermilk, into sugar mixture until batter is well mixed; fold in pineapple and cherries. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
