Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, no added sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, sugar-free sweetener, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the butter pieces over the top.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the mixture.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- Use crushed pineapple packed in juice rather than syrup to avoid added sugar.
- Let the bake cool for about 10 minutes before serving so the center can firm up.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serve warm or chilled with sugar-free whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- For a tropical variation, add 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Add 1/4 cup chopped pecans for crunch.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute dairy-free butter.
- The bake can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated until serving.
- To freeze, cool completely and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- An 8×8-inch baking dish can also be used; the bake will be thicker and may require a slightly different baking time.
