Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed pineapple (including its juice), melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your pineapple bread plain, or with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
