Description
A moist and sweet quick bread packed with pineapple flavor, topped with a tangy pineapple glaze for a tropical treat.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
½ cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
1/3 cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp pineapple juice (from the drained pineapple)
½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the drained crushed pineapple, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
- Once the bread has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread.
- Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh pineapple for canned, just be sure to drain it well.
- The glaze is optional, but it adds a nice sweetness and shine to the bread.
- This bread can be made without the glaze if you prefer a less sweet option.
- If you want to make this recipe vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and oil.
- For extra texture, consider adding shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or even chocolate chips to the batter.
