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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the crushed pineapple (including its juice), melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until well combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
