Description
This moist and tender quick bread is bursting with sweet, tangy pineapple and has a pleasant crunch from walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Drain the crushed pineapple well to remove excess liquid.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter, drained pineapple, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- If using walnuts, fold them in gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a light texture. If the top browns too fast while baking, tent with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
