Eating this sweet and moist pineapple bread is like being on your own little tropical island…
One Bowl Pineapple Bread
Thank you so much for your amazing comments on my previous post.
Still so hard to believe it’s real.
Sending you all hugs, and possibly a slice of homemade pineapple bread, if I don’t eat the whole loaf first. This secretly healthy and vegan pineapple bread could not be easier to make – you literally throw everything into a bowl and it’s ready to go!
Alright fine, maybe not quite literally. Please don’t play basketball with the ingredients.
Especially if your basketball skills are like mine (i.e. pretty much zero), that would not end well…

I’m kind of in love with pineapple lately.
It started with my Sticky Pineapple Cauliflower.
And then I was eating it wondering why I don’t make more things with pineapple, because whenever I do, I feel like I’m on an island in Hawaii instead of sitting in my apartment.
I mean… my apartment is nice and all, but it’s not Hawaii.
Maybe I should move to Hawaii.
Hmmm…

Above – watch the video how to make pineapple bread
On second thought, I’ll just stay here and eat more pineapple banana bread.
If you’re not a fan of banana, I’ve also linked to a banana-free version of the recipe so you don’t have to miss out.
The recipe can be completely oil free if desired.
Or you can use coconut oil or add a handful of shredded coconut to the healthy pineapple bread, because pineapple + coconut is one of the best food combinations out there – it’s like a piña colada in the form of a breakfast loaf. Also, just in case anyone else besides me noticed, please ignore the oven that needed to be cleaned in the video and rest assured it’s much better now.
Serve the pineapple bread recipe plain, or frosted with coconut butter, cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese), or coconut whipped cream!
Pineapple Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt, white, or oat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups overripe mashed banana (360g) (or this banana free version)
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
- 3 tbsp coconut milk or milk of choice
- 3 tbsp oil OR additional milk of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional 1/4 tsp coconut extract
- optional walnuts, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line with parchment. Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl, adding shredded coconut and/or crushed nuts if desired. Add all remaining ingredients, stir to form a batter (do not overmix), and smooth into prepared pan. Bake on the center rack 25 minutes, then do not open the oven door at all but turn off the heat and let sit in the closed oven 10 additional minutes. If it’s still undercooked at this time, simply turn the oven back on and continue baking—checking every 5 minutes–until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The taste and texture are much better the second day, so I highly recommend waiting if you can. Leftovers can be sliced and frozen for up to a month.View Nutrition Facts

I feel like this last one is always trending… people LOVE this cauliflower recipe!
Bailey says
I think this is a great recipes with a few specifications:
The first time I made it, it was ok, but it was super gooey throughout most of the top although the knife had come out” mostly clean”.
The second time I used oat flour instead of all purpose (I actually preferred the oat flour). Both times I put 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut. I think the coconut extract would be delicious but I didn’t have any. It’s pretty impossible to drain a can of crushed pineapple, so the second time I got my strainer out and really squeezed the juice out so there was a lot less liquid than when I just pressed it out with a spoon the first time. The second time I used 6T of full fat canned coconut milk rather than lite canned coconut milk. Probably the biggest difference was that the second time I baked as follows:
30min at 350
Turned oven off and let sit 10min
Still gooey
Turned oven back on at 350 for 15min
Turned oven off and let sit for 10min.
Took out of oven and let cool.
MUCH better consistency the second time and the top got to a much darker brown color.
Good recipe, but baking time was way off for me.

Has anyone made this with almond and/or coconut flour?
CCK Media Team says
We haven’t, but you can always try adding pineapple to this almond flour banana bread: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/almond-flour-banana-bread/

Some canned pineapples come in syrup instead of juice. Could we use that syrup I place it maple syrup for this recipe?
Alisha says
Such a lovely pineapple recipe. My whole family enjoyed this for breakfast and then snack the next day.
Ashley says
Would it be possible to substitute the honey for brown sugar or pineapple juice leftovers? We have a honey allergy in our household.
CCK Media Team says
Hi! We have not tried it with a granulated sweetener. But you can use pure maple syrup or agave if you can have those.
Izzi says
Well, this is a frustrating recipe! It is such a tasty treat but a genuine pain to bake. As numerous other commentors have noted… 25 minutes is simply NOT long enough to bake this moist dough all the way through. This loaf needs a much longer baking time than what this recipe suggests. You may have to tinker with it, maybe try some of the suggestions in the comments as I have, but I will add …it is delicious if you can get it right.
Jacqueline says
I love baking & especially when recipes are easy. This one was a hit for me! Living in the tropics we have an abundance of bananas & pineapples. I’ll definitely be making again, next time I’ll make double because it got eaten very fast! Thank you!

Thank you so much for trying it 🙂

Hello, Katie. It looks like from all the comments that this recipe has been posted for a few years but I am just now finding it. Has anyone tried adapting this recipe to a bread machine? And would they share that here?
Thanks
CCK Media Team says
We have honestly never tried making a quick bread or yeast free bread in the bread machine but be sure to report back if you try!
