Ingredients
Pineapple Bread:
3/4 c granulated sugar
1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 c pineapple syrup (from the canned pineapple)
2 tbsp whole milk
1 c crushed pineapple, drained (save the syrup)
1/8 tsp salt
Glaze:
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp pineapple syrup plus more as needed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Get an 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a bowl beat together 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of softened butter until it becomes fluffy. Add the eggs one, at a time. Mix after each addition.
In another bowl mix together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) of salt. Gradually add half of this dry mixture to the wet ingredients along with 1/4 cup of pineapple syrup. Mix gently. Then add the remaining dry mixture along, with 2 tablespoons of whole milk. Stir until everything is just combined.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple (one cup) being careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for about 45 to 55 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for ten minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze whisk together one cup of sugar, one teaspoon of vanilla extract and two tablespoons of pineapple syrup until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Pour the glaze over the cooled Pineapple Bread. Savor the taste of your tropical delight!
Notes
To give our Pineapple Bread Recipe a variation just replace the regular all-purpose flour with a top-notch gluten-free flour blend. It’s crucial to choose a blend that contains a binder, like xanthan gum or guar gum for best outcomes. Also take a moment to inspect the labels of your baking powder and other ingredients to confirm that they are also gluten-free. By making this adjustment you can still enjoy the taste of pineapple bread while accommodating those, with gluten-free dietary requirements.
