Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.75 cups chopped walnuts or cashews
- 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. Optionally, line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In another large bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil. Mix well until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the crushed pineapple (including its juice) until just combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix to avoid a dense bread.
Fold in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut, if using, until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
Slice and serve as a snack, dessert, or breakfast treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
