Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Pour in the melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
-
Gently fold in the diced pineapple and chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the square out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice into squares or bars of your desired size.
-
Arrange the Chewy Pineapple Pecan Squares on a serving platter and enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
