This delicious pineapple stuffing only requires six simple ingredients, only requires about 5-10 minutes of preparation and is a great addition as an easy side dish to any holiday meal. Baked pineapple stuffing brings a fun twist to special occasions. This easy pineapple stuffing is also always a kid friendly favorite so no worries about any picky eaters.
This recipe is perfect for holiday dinners and will quickly become one of everyone's favorite side dishes. It is a twist on your traditional stuffing but adds a sweet element to your Thanksgiving plate that you didn't know you needed. My two favorite holidays to make this delicious stuffing for is Thanksgiving dinner and Easter dinner. It can also easily find a good place at the Christmas dinner table as well. It also can be a fun dessert because the flavors embody the same elements as a pineapple bread pudding.
This was inspired by my sweet honey cornbread on this site, and pairs well with this baked cavatappi mac and cheese.

Ingredients
- white sandwich bread cubes (soft bread preferred)
- crushed pineapple canned
- sugar
- butter
- large eggs
- salt
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a casserole dish with oil spray.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, add sugar, beaten eggs, melted butter and salt. Mix until well combined and a cream butter texture is formed.
- Step 3: Add the bread cubes and fold into the egg sugar mixture. Once most of the bread is coated, add the crushed pineapples and fold in.
- Step 4: When all of the bread is coated, transfer from the bowl to the casserole dish. Bake 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Hint: buy a loaf of bread and tear the cubes of bread or cut them yourself. The white bread that comes in loafs is much fluffier and fresher than what you get in the pre cubed bags which gives you a much better result and quality.
Substitutions
- Bread - use a gluten free bread if needed.
- Eggs - eggs can be replaced with an egg substitute if necessary
- Butter - vegan butter or a neutral oil can be used to swap out the butter if a dairy free option is needed.
Variations
- Brown Sugar - add some brown sugar to the mix for a delicious, sweet addition that pairs really well with the pineapple
- Thanksgiving - add cranberries or dried cranberries on top for an extra pop of Thanksgiving flavor.
- Savory - take out the pineapple and replace with some savory flavors for a classic savory stuffing recipe.

Top Tip
Use your hands to mix the delicious pineapple and pineapple juice into the bread cubes. This assures that the fluffy cubed slices of white bread all get evenly coated so the entire dish is packed with flavor.
FAQ
You can also use an electric mixer to mix the egg and sugar mixture. This will assure everything gets mixed well and evenly.
You cannot unfortunately. To make a double batch, you will need two large casserole dishes since a single batch already uses one large casserole dish.
