Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (unsweetened, with juice)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed pineapple (including its juice), unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and uniform.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the chopped nuts and any optional sweetener, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the pineapple nut bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
