Description
A quick and easy sweet bread that captures the tropical essence of pineapple for a moist, flavorful loaf perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (Spoon into the measuring cup and level it.)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (For lift.)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (For lift.)
- 1 teaspoon salt (To enhance flavor.)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (For structure.)
- 1 cup sugar (For sweetness and moisture.)
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (Canola or vegetable oil for softness.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (For warm flavor.)
- 1 can crushed pineapple with juice (For moisture and tropical taste.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease and line your loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, and crushed pineapple with some juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined; some lumps are fine.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling
- Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before lifting the loaf out to cool completely.
Notes
For a more tropical flavor, consider adding shredded coconut or using lime zest. Serve with yogurt and fresh fruit for brunch.
