- 1½ cups (190 g) all‑purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) crushed pineapple, drained
- ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Preheat oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease a 9×5‑inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until smooth. Add oil and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in nuts if using.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 58 minutes).
- Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure pineapple is well drained to prevent soggy texture.
- Swap oil for melted butter for richer flavor.
- Add ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness.
- Wrap cooled bread in foil—stays moist for up to 4 days.
- Slices freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
