Outstanding Pineapple Orange Bread w/Citrus Glaze image

AKA "Tropical Paradise Breakfast Bread" to my Grandparent To Grandparent friends! lol What a great quick bread! This just could be my all-time favorite sweet bread, and I make a lot of them! With each bite, you get subtle hints of pineapple, then orange, then almond and then banana. I especially love the addition of almond...

Number Of Ingredients 17

BREAD:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup crushed pineapple (i used pineapple chunks that i pulsed in my mini food processor, well drained, because i wanted the pineapple to have a little texture.) reserve juice for glaze.
1 mashed banana
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 tsp. freshly grated orange zest (orange only, no white pith.)
2 cups flour
GLAZE:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2-2 tb. pineapple juice
1 tsp. freshly grated orange peel

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs until well blended and light. Add almond extract and vanilla. On low, stir in pineapple, banana and orange peel. Slowly add in flour, baking powder, soda and salt and mix until just blended.
  • 2. Grease or spray a 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch pan. Line bottom only with parchment, if desired. Pour batter into pan.
  • 3. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a knife inserted in center JUST comes out clean. Don't over bake. (Mine took 60 minutes, but my oven bakes hot.) Tent loosely with foil for the last 10-15 minutes if browning too quickly.
  • 4. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Glaze with orange peel glaze. (Directions below.) Enjoy!
  • 5. To Make Glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients and spoon over warm bread.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out perfectly. I love the way the citrus glaze soaks into the bread and makes it extra moist.

I'm not a big fan of citrusy desserts, but I really enjoyed this bread. The pineapple and orange flavors were well-balanced and the glaze was just the right amount of sweetness.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover pineapple and oranges. It's also a nice change from the usual banana bread or zucchini bread.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but the bread still turned out great. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and I added a teaspoon of cinnamon. I also omitted the glaze.
