Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup egg substitute
Supporting Dry Ingredients:
- ¾ cup flour
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Cream ½ cup softened butter with 1 cup sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy.
- Add ½ cup egg substitute and 20 ounces of drained crushed pineapple to the butter mixture, stirring until thoroughly incorporated.
- Sift together ¾ cup all-purpose flour and ¾ cup whole wheat flour with 1 teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing carefully to prevent overmixing.
- Gently stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
- Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully turn the bread out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the bread soggy.
- Use room temperature butter and egg substitute for smoother, more even mixing.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with a blend of almond and coconut flour.
- Store wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer preservation.
