Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, spreading it out gently with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
