Notes
- Since I am gluten free, I use gluten free flour for this recipe. If you are not, feel free to use all purpose flour.
- Feel free to use light brown sugar instead of coconut sugar.
- If you do not have coconut oil, feel free to use another neutral flavored oil like avocado oil.
- Dice the pineapple into small chunks.
- Do not bake too long. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
