Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups Fresh pineapple, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Stir in the finely chopped fresh pineapple until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and, if using, the shredded coconut.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve slices of the pineapple nut bread plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese, if desired.
