Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 0.75 cups chopped walnuts or cashews
• 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. Optionally, line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil. Mix well until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the crushed pineapple (including its juice) until just combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix to avoid a dense bread.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut, if using, until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as a snack, dessert, or breakfast treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
