"Two of my holiday favorites combined into one. I would use maraschino cherries and drained crushed pineapple that I blotted with a paper towel instead of the candies fruit. Recipe from Taste of Home's website. NOTE: Cooling time is included in cook time."

Delicious muffins using pecans, banana, dates, and pineapple. Oh me gosh, so delish! Hate fruitcake, but this combo brings new meaning to the words 'Delicious Muffins'!

I used some leftover fresh pineapple and marachino cherries for the fruit because we don't like the dry. I also added some dates. The nuts make it even better! It was so delicious that we ate the whole thing in one day!

Although I do like fruitcake & am happy to try out new recipes, I'm not particularly enthused about candied fruit! So, since this is actually a banana-based cake, I decided to substitute 1 1/2 nicely rounded cups of diced & dried tropical fruit for the candied variety, & that worked out wonderfully! The cake was/is absolutely delicious & is something I can make anytime of the year!
