 Pineapple Bars with Coconut Drizzle!  A super easy to make recipe that has tons of flavor!

Pineapple Bars

I woke up early on a Saturday morning….like way too early!  Of course Mr. Laughing Spatula was already up and out,  putting gas in all the cars.  You see, Mr. LS takes very good care of his girls.  Every weekend he fills up our cars and washes them.    Our ‘little girl’ is 24, engaged and he still takes care of her (and me for that matter).  So the least I can do is make him something sweet.  Right?  I mean, it’s not for me?  It’s simply to show my appreciation.  You buying this?

We have all been dieting, so there isn’t much in the house as far as goodies go, so I had to go in deep…deep into the bowels of the pantry to find something…anything! Right when I thought I’d come out empty handed, my chubby little fingers wrapped around a can of crushed pineapple!  Okay! I shouted…I can do something with this!!

I remembered a recipe for Blueberry Pie Bars that I posted last year.  I never thought they got the attention they deserved…quite frankly the picture wasn’t one of my best.  But the flavor was  fantastic and why couldn’t I substitute Pineapple?

Remember to remove a cup of the crust to crumble on top of the filling!

So before he could say ‘filler up bud’ and return back home…I banged out these lovely pineapple bars! You can make these with or without the coconut drizzle but it really kicks up the flavor.  You should have some coconut extract in your pantry – left over from the Coconut Sheet Cake that you made. 🙂

Still craving a quick and easy sweet!  Try these Cherry Pie Bars!

To easy to make desserts!

Clink!

    I made these today. I mixed unsweetened coconut flakes in with pineapple filling and instead of coconut extract in the topping, I used vanilla. We really enjoyed this recipe. Thank you so much.

      Plain yogurt would work great…use the same amount as called for in the recipe.
      thanks!

    I made the first pan of pineapple bars on Wednesday and I had to sample and OMG!!! I had to go back 3 more times. This dis was made for the Thanksgiving dinner, well, I had to make another pan. Just to say this was a hit with family and friends and this will forever be a dessert for holidays dinners.

    I just found your recipe in Pinterest. I want to try it because it sounds delicious but I have a little problem. The ‘sticks’ of butter. I assume you’re referring to a packaging size, but living in Sweden, I have no idea of how much butter I should use. (Butter and margarine packages come in 2 dif sizes in Sweden and the wrappings are marked every 50 gr..) Could you be so kind as to tell me how much does your “butter stick” weights? Ounces will be fine, I can covert that to grams.
    TIA

      Hi Freesia – My apologies! You are not the first to ask about the ‘stick of butter’ measurement. My old time cooking skills I guess. One stick equals 1/2 cup, 4 oz or 113g. Sorry for the trouble and I’ll update my recipe.
      Love that my blog travels to Sweden – wish I could go with it 🙂
      Thanks or your note!

    Can coconut oil be used in place of the extract?

      Hi Megan – You can but you won’t get near the coconut flavor that extract will give you. I haven’t cooked with coconut oil but once or twice and am not that familiar with how it breaks down and would effect the texture.
      Thanks for writing, wish I could be more help!

    Thats a great idea – let me know how it works….hoping the coconut flavor will be intense enough.

    Just made these. They are awesome. My husband loved.
    Left them in for only 45 minutes. They were getting brown.
    5 Stars in my book. Will make again.
    I read every review when trying something new.
    Hope this will be helpful to someone else.

      I also have cancer. I am going to make this to take to my next chemo treatment. I have the most amazing nurses an the rest of the staff is wonderful and they deserve a treat. And my chemo buddies need a treat too. I love easy to make desserts. I don’t have the energy to stand for long periods of time. So these are just up my alley. Thank you!!!
