This easy glazed pineapple bread is made with crushed pineapple for extra moisture and flavor, then finished with a sweet pineapple glaze for the perfect finishing touch.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8 x 4.5 or 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, add 1 cup sugar, ½ cup oil, 2 eggs, 1 cup drained crushed pineapple, ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Pineapple Glaze
Whisk 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 3-4 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until smooth.
Pour the glaze evenly over the loaf. Let the glaze set before cutting into slices.
