Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare two 9x5 inch loaf pans by spraying them generously with non-stick baking spray, ideally one that contains flour for easier release.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
3
Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer on low speed to beat the mixture until smooth and thoroughly combined.
4
Fold in the pumpkin puree, crushed pineapple (making sure it’s well-drained), and chopped pecans. Mix gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 38 to 42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before slicing.
