Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Stir in the crushed pineapple (including the juice), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pineapple bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
