Pumpkin Pineapple Bread

Submitted by LouLabelle

"This bread has a moist cake-like texture. The addition of pineapple just kicks up the flavors. I use Splenda with a teaspoon of maple flavoring to get brown sugar taste but reg sugar and reg pudding will be fine. The oven temp is 300 degrees. I also use the mini loaf pans. This will make 20-24 mini loafs."
