This tropical pineapple loaf is an easy, no-yeast quick bread that delivers a moist texture and bright, fruity flavor in every slice. Made with crushed pineapple and simple pantry ingredients, it comes together quickly with minimal preparation. The pineapple’s natural sweetness and tang balance the soft, buttery crumb, while a touch of vanilla and optional cinnamon add warmth. It’s a perfect choice for breakfast, snack time, or an afternoon treat, filling the kitchen with a sweet, tropical aroma as it bakes.
To make the loaf, dry ingredients are whisked separately, while sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and crushed pineapple are mixed into a smooth wet base. The two mixtures are gently combined to keep the batter tender, then poured into a prepared loaf pan. A sprinkle of turbinado sugar can be added for a crisp topping before baking until golden and set. After cooling, the loaf can be enjoyed plain, toasted with butter, or drizzled with a simple pineapple glaze. The result is a soft, flavorful bread that brings a sunny, island-inspired twist to any table.
