Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained but juice reserved)
- 0.25 cups pineapple juice (from drained pineapple or bottled)
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the crushed pineapple and reserved pineapple juice until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
