Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Leave some seeds if you prefer extra heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced pineapple, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture. Be generous but avoid overfilling.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with one slice of bacon, making sure the filling is secured. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place if necessary.
Arrange the prepared jalapeno poppers on the lined baking sheet with the seam side of the bacon facing down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pineapple Jalapeno Poppers warm!
