Great for using up overripe fruit or pantry staples
Easy to mix by hand—no mixer needed
Versatile enough for add-ins like coconut, nuts, or spices
Delicious warm, chilled, or toasted with butter
🧾 Ingredients You’ll Need
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
Âľ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained (or 1 cup fresh pineapple, finely chopped + a little juice)
Optional: ½ cup shredded coconut, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, or ½ cup chopped nuts
👩‍🍳 Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add sugar, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the crushed pineapple with its juice.
Combine and stir: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in any optional add-ins at this stage.
Pour into loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
