 Ingredients for Pineapple Quick Bread

Make sure you have the following ingredients ready before starting:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple (with juice)

• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch

• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for a warm flavor twist

 How to Make Pineapple Quick Bread – Step-by-Step

 Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

 Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

• 2 cups flour

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt
  (Optional: add cinnamon here)

 Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk:

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 cup oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice

 Step 4: Mix Wet and Dry Together

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined — do not overmix. The batter should be slightly thick.

 Step 5: Add Nuts (Optional)

If using chopped walnuts or pecans, fold them into the batter now.

 Step 6: Pour and Bake

Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool the Bread

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

 Tips for the Best Pineapple Bread

• Use canned crushed pineapple with juice – this keeps the bread moist and flavorful.

• Want it extra sweet? Add 1/4 cup brown sugar or a light glaze after baking.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
