weight watchers Pineapple Quick Bread

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained (or fresh pineapple, finely chopped)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup honey or a sugar substitute (e.g., stevia)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan (9×5 inch).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, honey (or sugar substitute), and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Add the pineapple (and nuts if using) to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
5. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for about 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
