Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cups raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.

Step 5

If using walnuts and/or raisins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Pineapple Pumpkin Bread, either plain or with a smear of butter or cream cheese!
