Ingredients for the Easiest Pineapple Bake

You’ll need just a few simple ingredients to create this tropical masterpiece:

Main Ingredients:

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (drained but keep some juice)

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)

Topping (Optional but Recommended!):

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup shredded coconut

½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish (or similar) with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.

Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.

Stir in the drained crushed pineapple(reserve a few tablespoons of juice for moisture).

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

If using toppings, sprinkle brown sugar, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts over the top for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil in the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the pineapple bake cool for 10 minutesbefore serving.

Enjoy warm as is, or top it with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey.
