How to Make Sweet Pineapple Bread
It’s really easy to make this delicious treat!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
FOR THE BREAD:
- Vegetable Oil
- Granulated Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Crushed Pineapple
- All-purpose Flour
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Ground Cinnamon

FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
- Granulated Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- All-Purpose Flour
- Ground Cinnamon

How to Make It:
(Full printable recipe card is available below)
Combine sugar and wet ingredients. First you’ll mix together vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the pineapple. Next you’ll mix in the drained crushed pineapple, mixing until combined.
Mix the dry ingredients. Next you’ll whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Make the streusel topping. Next you’ll whisk together sugar, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix with your fingers until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
If the mixture is too dry, add a second tablespoon of oil and mix to combine.
Bake the bread. Last, you’ll pour the batter into prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes and Adaptations:
- Make sure your pineapple is drained well. I pour it into a sieve, then use a spatula to press the excess liquid out.
- Feel free to double the recipe if you’d like to have two loaves.
- These loaves freeze well. Simply cool completely, then double-wrap with plastic wrap before freezing.
- This bread is delicious served on its own, but we also sometimes like to add a dollop of whipped cream!
