Ingredients

• • 1 cup oatmeal (ground into flour)
  • 80g/3oz walnuts (chopped)

• • 50g/1.7oz dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or stevia (or sweetener of your choice)
  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)

• 120 ml water
• ½ cup oatmeal (whole)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Grind the Oatmeal

1. 1. Prepare the oatmeal flour: Start by grinding 1 cup of oatmeal in a blender or food processor until it reaches a fine flour-like consistency.

Step 2: Chop the Walnuts

1. Add walnuts: Once the oats are ground, add 80g/3oz of walnuts to the blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until the walnuts are finely chopped but still have a bit of texture.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

1. 1. Add cranberries: Transfer the ground oatmeal and walnuts to a large mixing bowl. Stir in 50g/1.7oz dried cranberries.
   2. Sweeten the mix: Add 1 tablespoon of erythritol or stevia to the mixture and stir well to evenly distribute the sweetness.

Step 4: Mash the Banana

1. Mash the banana: In a separate small bowl, mash 1 ripe banana with a fork until smooth. The banana will act as a natural sweetener and binder for the cookies.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. 1. Mix together: Add the mashed banana to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture starts to hold together.
   2. Add water: Pour in 120 ml of water to help bind the ingredients further. Stir until the mixture becomes a thick, sticky dough.

1. Add whole oats: Mix in ½ cup of whole oatmeal for additional texture.

Step 6: Shape the Cookies

1. 1. Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
   2. Divide the dough: Using a spoon or your hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a cookie and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between them.

Step 7: Bake the Cookies

1. Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F. Place the tray of cookies in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are firm to the touch.
2. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cooking Tips

• • Add-ins: You can customize these cookies by adding your favorite ingredients. Consider mixing in seeds (such as chia or flaxseeds), dark chocolate chips, or shredded coconut for additional flavor and texture.

• • Sweetness: If you prefer your cookies sweeter, you can increase the amount of erythritol or stevia, or add a touch of honey or maple syrup.
  • Texture: For a chewier texture, underbake the cookies slightly by removing them from the oven at around 25 minutes. For a crunchier cookie, leave them in for the full 30 minutes or until fully golden.
  • Substitutions: If you don’t have walnuts on hand, feel free to substitute them with almonds, pecans, or any other nuts you like. Similarly, raisins or other dried fruits can replace cranberries.

Storage

• Room temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
• Refrigeration: For longer storage, place the cookies in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Freezing: You can freeze these cookies for up to 3 months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag once frozen. When ready to eat, thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

The vibrant flavors instantly made me feel at home, and I knew I had to recreate that experience in my own kitchen. This recipe brings back those warm memories and is perfect for sharing with loved ones.

Ingredients

To prepare this comforting Juicy Pineapple Cake, you’ll need:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (for topping)
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (for glaze)

• If you’re looking to make this cake dairy-free, substitute the butter with coconut oil and the milk with almond or coconut milk. This will give the cake an even more pronounced tropical flavor, though it may slightly alter the texture.

How to Make Juicy Pineapple Cake

Follow these steps to create your own delicious Juicy Pineapple Cake:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for ensuring that your cake has a light, airy texture.
3. Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to fully incorporate the eggs and creates a smooth batter.
4. Incorporate the Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract for that perfect hint of flavor.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the leavening agent is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. This method helps to keep the batter smooth and prevents lumps.
7. Fold in Pineapple: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and pineapple juice until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could result in a dense cake.
8. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the sweetened condensed milk with a little pineapple juice until smooth. This glaze adds extra moisture and sweetness to the cake.
10. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Poke holes in the cake with a skewer or fork, then pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to soak in.
11. Top with Pineapple Chunks: Once the cake has cooled completely, top with pineapple chunks for a burst of freshness in every bite.

Helpful Tips

• Preventing a Soggy Cake: Ensure that the crushed pineapple is well-drained before adding it to the batter. Excess moisture can make the cake soggy.
• Perfect Glaze Application: Pour the glaze while the cake is still warm to help it soak in better. If you prefer a thicker glaze, allow the cake to cool slightly longer before applying.

Cooking Tips

To enhance the flavor and texture of your Juicy Pineapple Cake, consider these tips:

• Enhance the Tropical Flavor: Add a teaspoon of coconut extract to the batter for an extra tropical touch.
• Proper Mixing Technique: When folding in the crushed pineapple, use a gentle hand to avoid deflating the batter. This ensures your cake remains light and fluffy.
• Equipment Suggestions: Using an electric mixer will make creaming the butter and sugar much easier, ensuring a smoother batter.

Serving Suggestions

This Juicy Pineapple Cake is versatile and can be served in various ways:

• With Whipped Cream: A dollop of freshly whipped cream on the side adds a light, airy contrast to the rich cake.
• Paired with Ice Cream: Serve a slice of this cake with a scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream for a delightful dessert.
• Garnished with Fresh Mint: For a touch of elegance, garnish each slice with a sprig of fresh mint.
