- Vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt

Directions
- Preheat & Prep:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. - Prepare the Pineapple:
Drain your canned pineapple well, or if using fresh, chop it into small chunks. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. - Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the melted butter, crack in the eggs, and add a splash of vanilla extract. Stir everything until a thick, smooth batter forms. - Fold in the Pineapple:
Gently mix in the pineapple pieces, being careful not to crush them—this keeps the texture nice and juicy. - Bake:
Spread the batter evenly in your prepared dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. - Cool & Serve:
Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. Serve warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. Add ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips & Variations
- Want extra flavor? Stir in a bit of shredded coconut, lime zest, or chopped nuts.
- Looking for healthier options? Try using whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, or sub in some Greek yogurt for butter.
- Mix it up: Add other fruits like mango or peaches for a fun twist.
- Make it fancy: Drizzle with a glaze or top with cream cheese frosting for a more indulgent version.
