Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
1 tablespoon pineapple juice or milk (for glaze, optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in melted butter, vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple with juice.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil if it browns too quickly.
7. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional: Whisk powdered sugar with juice or milk and drizzle over cooled bread for a glaze.
Notes
Do not drain the pineapple juice—it’s essential for moisture and flavor.
For a tropical twist, stir in shredded coconut or chopped macadamia nuts.
Always let the bread cool before glazing to avoid a runny mess.
