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.
