    This easy tropical Pineapple Quick Bread is a yummy treat for breakfast, snack, or as a lunch and dinner side dish!

    sliced pineapple bread loaf on a white serving platter.

    Have you ever had pineapple bread before? It's a lovely, tropical treat that is a nice change from the usual banana bread or other more common quick breads.

    We had it first on a family vacation to Maui. I remember that everyone enjoyed it - which can be rare in a family with four very different tastes! - and vowed to make it when we got home.

    🌟 Why you'll love this pineapple quick bread

    loaf of pineapple bread sliced with one slice laying flat, on a white serving platter.

    With bits of crushed pineapple dotted throughout the bread, each slice has sweet, sour, and citrus flavors in each bite.

    This pineapple bread recipe is a quick bread recipe. I LOVE making quick breads. They're my favorite type of breads to bake.

    Quick breads don't require yeast, so you don't have to wait for the dough to rise. They usually come together pretty quickly, which means you get to eat them and enjoy them faster! :)

    🍍 Ingredient notes

    ingredients for pineapple bread - sugar, eggs, melted butter - in clear glass bowls on a blue background.

    Butter - Use unsalted butter that is melted, and then allowed to cool slightly at room temperature.

    Pineapple - You can use either canned crushed pineapple or fresh finely chopped pineapple.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    prepared loaf pan lined with parchment paper on a blue background.

    To make this pineapple bread, start by either greasing the inside of a 9x5-inch bread loaf pan with butter. Or, my preferred method is to line the inside with parchment paper.

    🍞 Baking tips

    How do I keep the bread from sticking to the pan?

    Line the loaf pan with parchment paper if you can. This makes it easy to lift the bread out of the pan once it's done baking.

    Can I make this dairy free?

    Yes! I often substitute my favorite dairy-free plain yogurt for regular yogurt.

    Why did my bread not rise as much?

    The likely culprit is a leavening agent that is past its prime and lost its ability to activate, and thus rise. As with all baking, make sure you're using fresh baking soda and baking powder. This will ensure your bread rises properly. Both leavening agents are still likely safe to eat even after their expiration date, but the older they are, the less they will work to create a nice rise in your bread.

        Delicious. I used canned crushed pineapple. Was tempted to put the whole 20 oz can into the mix but refrained. Used bread flour by mistake, because I'm an idiot, and it turned out light and fluffy. Shared with some buddies and they really enjoyed it. The amount of pineapple was just right, not overwhelming. Just had a slab for breakfast with butter on it, nuked for 30 seconds. Thanks for the recipe!

        I made this, and it was delicious. I did only use 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and Greek yogurt. It was perfect! I will add macadamia nuts next time.

        I followed this recipe and did the pineapple bread today. But it turned out bitter. I guess maybe too much baking soda. I will add less baking soda and try to make again. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

        Cooking it right now. Added 1/2 banana and used coconut sugar, cane sugar in a 2/3, 1/3 ratio (accordingly). Will let you know shortly.
