Pineapple Bread is a delicious and moist treat that combines the sweetness of pineapple with a soft, fluffy texture. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack!
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 120 ml vegetable oil
- 120 ml pineapple juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g crushed pineapple, well drained
- 60 g shredded coconut, optional
- 120 g powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tbsp pineapple juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 23 × 13 cm loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons pineapple juice for the glaze. Add more pineapple juice if needed until you get a thick but pourable glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pineapple bread.
Notes
- Drain the pineapple well so the bread doesn’t become soggy.
- For stronger pineapple flavor, replace 30–60 ml of the vegetable oil with additional pineapple juice.
- Add walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- For a tropical version, use pineapple + coconut + chopped macadamia nuts.
- Store covered at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
