🍍 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional for extra warmth)

Wet Ingredients:

2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt (adds moistness)

Optional Add-ins:

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup raisins or dried pineapple bits

🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. This ensures the bread comes out easily after baking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
