Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  3. 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.

  4. Gently fold in the diced pineapple and chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Arrange the Chewy Pineapple Pecan Squares on a serving platter and enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
