Perfect choice! 🍍
Pineapple Quick Bread is one of those recipes that instantly makes your kitchen smell like sunshine. It’s moist, sweet, and just tropical enough to make you feel like you’re on vacation — yet it’s as easy as banana bread to make.

Let’s turn this into a long, detailed, and cozy article-style recipe that walks you through everything: flavor notes, ingredients, steps, variations, and even serving ideas.

🍍 Homemade Pineapple Quick Bread

If you love a moist, tender loaf that’s bursting with fruity flavor, this Pineapple Quick Bread might just become your new favorite bake. It’s simple to make, doesn’t require yeast or fancy equipment, and stays fresh for days — making it perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a sweet afternoon treat with tea or coffee.

The tropical sweetness of pineapple gives this bread a bright, sunny flavor, while the soft crumb makes every bite melt in your mouth. Think of it as banana bread’s lighter, fruitier cousin — sweet but not too sugary, with a hint of buttery richness and a golden crust that smells heavenly right out of the oven.

🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll only need a few pantry staples — plus one star ingredient: pineapple!

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, undrained (from a 20 oz can — use the juice!)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil for a lighter texture)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional — pecans, macadamias, or walnuts work great)

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional for warmth)

🍍 Optional Add-Ins for Flavor

If you love variety, you can make it your own:

  • Shredded coconut – adds a tropical chewiness

  • Chopped maraschino cherries – for a pineapple upside-down cake vibe

  • Crushed pecans or macadamia nuts – for extra crunch

  • Lemon or orange zest – for a zesty citrus twist
