Pineapple Bread
Pineapple bread is a moist, sweet quick bread bursting with tropical flavor. Crushed pineapple adds natural sweetness and keeps the loaf soft and tender, while a hint of vanilla and warm cinnamon round out its comforting taste. This easy-to-make bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea. No yeast required and ready in just about an hour.
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3️⃣ In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4️⃣ Stir the crushed pineapple with its juice into the wet ingredients. Mix until evenly incorporated.
5️⃣ Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the nuts if using.
6️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7️⃣ Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little brown sugar and chopped nuts on top before baking. If your crushed pineapple has excess liquid, stir well but do not drain—it helps keep the bread moist. This bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Try adding shredded coconut for a more tropical variation.
