My thoughts:

Hummingbird Cake is a Southern favorite. It commencement appeared inward Southern Living inward 1978 every bit purpose of an article nearly making the most of bananas. I've never had the jeopardy to brand 1 earlier but I've ever kept inward the dorsum of my caput every bit something to sweat 1 day. It combines pineapple, which I love, too bananas, which my hubby loves into 1 moist cake. Recently Yoplait approached me nearly creating a recipe using their novel flavored Greek yogurt, too I saw it came inward pineapple, I figured straightaway was the time! Rather than brand a large cream cheese-frosted cake, I idea I'd brand only about breakfast-ready muffins instead. I dearest using Greek yogurt inward muffins (as my archives volition attest) because it makes the muffins hence moist without beingness heavy. The pecans, banana too cinnamon brand this muffin reminds me of tumble days spent making banana staff of life but the pineapple adds a piffling tropical punch. My hubby said they were his novel favorite banana muffins: moist too lite amongst a prissy crunch from the pecans.
