In a medium bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, soda, salt) and set aside.

In a large bowl, on medium mixer speed, beat the oil and sugar until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until light, each about 1-2 minutes. Add vanilla, bananas, and pineapple ad mix to combine. Add dry ingredients 1/3 at a time and mix until combined. Stir in pecans.
