Tips for Perfect Pineapple Quick Bread

  • Don’t Drain the Pineapple: The juice adds moisture and flavor, so keep it in!
  • Add Mix-Ins: Stir in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or raisins for extra texture.
  • Check for Doneness: Ovens vary, so start checking at 50 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
