Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup butter (melted)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (well-drained)
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the melted butter and crushed pineapple.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
- Melt the unsalted butter with the remaining brown sugar until glossy, then spoon over the nuts.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure to drain the pineapple thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. For gluten-free, use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend.
