Pineapple Quick Bread for Sweet Easy Recipes

Sometimes you just want to bake something cozy and simple, right? Well, that's how this pineapple quick bread happened. I had a can of crushed pineapple staring me down from the pantry shelf, like it knew it had purpose. And boy, did it ever. I grabbed it, stirred up some basic ingredients, and what came out of the oven was golden, tender, and—let’s be real—gone in a day. This recipe has become one of those go-to solutions when I'm short on time but still want that warm, sweet smell filling my kitchen. It's the kind of bake you can throw together without overthinking. No mixer needed, no stress, no weird ingredients. Just pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, and some pantry magic. We’ve sliced it for breakfast, wrapped it in foil for road trips, and even toasted leftovers with butter (if we’re lucky enough to have leftovers). So if you're after sweet easy recipes that don’t demand too much but deliver big flavor? This one’s a keeper.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add the undrained crushed pineapple and mix well.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve plain or with a pat of butter if you're feeling indulgent.
