Pineapple Quick Bread
Ingredients:
Ingredient Amount

Granulated sugar ¼ cup
Milk 2 tbsp

For the Glaze:
Ingredient Amount
Reserved pineapple juice 2 tbsp
Confectioners’ sugar 1 cup
Vanilla extract 1 tsp
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder to ensure even mixing.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined.
Slowly add the reserved ¼ cup pineapple juice alternated with the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
Stir in the milk.
Gently fold the drained crushed pineapple into the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by whisking together the reserved pineapple juice, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and allow it to set before slicing and serving.
