The pineapple, pumpkin and cardamom got lost in this. Peanut butter took over. This would be good with chocolate chips adding sweetness and some creaminess. The texture was crumble and a bit dry. Perhaps because of the overuse of baking powder. I would cut back on the baking powder to 1 teaspoon. I found it a bit salty tasting as well. Sorry I really hoped this would be good but the squirrels and birds enjoyed it. A nice try!

I think this bread has real potential but I would need to make some changes to suit my family's tastes. We felt the peanut butter was a bit overpowering as written and the bread as a whole was too dry. We tried it, about a slice each, but it ended up in the trash. I think it was a good use of contest ingredients though and I may make it again. I would like to try cutting down the peanut butter, adding some brown sugar & use much smaller pineapple pieces. Thanks for sharing your creation! Made for RSC Lucky #13.
