Happy Happy Wednesday y’all!!! You guys know it’s been a super crazy week so far when I just completely forgot to post these amazing Pineapple Bars yesterday. Like, just completely forgot, I mean, I do wake up at the absolute crack of dawn and then work all day, but you know it’s been hectic if I forgot about food, especially dessert.
These bars are not your usual run of the mill bars either, when I say that these bars are absolutely out of this world delicious, I’m not even exaggerating a little. I knew that I would love these because I’m a giant pineapple fan, pretty much in any capacity, but these are eye rollingley, holy moly, wowza good.
Just imagine the most delicious buttery, moist bar with just the perfect amount of pineapple flavor that’s all caramelized around the edges, mmmmm…that’s these bars y’all. I cannot begin to emphasize enough how much you need these bars in your life.
There are more than a few steps to make these, but trust me, they’re 100% worth the effort. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day & week, and I really appreciate you dropping by, thanks!

- Place your ingredients into a bowl, either with your hands or with a mixer, mix all of your ingredients together until crumbly.
- Remove 1 cup of the crust mixture and set aside.
- Gently press the remaining crust into the bottom of your pan evenly and bake for 10 minutes, take out and let cool completely.
- With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment place all of your ingredients into your bowl and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
- Pour your pineapple filling onto your crust and evenly sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top of the filling.
- Bake for 48-50 minutes or until the center doesn't jiggle anymore.
- In a small bowl combine all of your ingredients mixing thoroughly until smooth, you may need to add more milk to reach the desired texture.
- With a spoon or fork drizzle over the top of your bars after they are completely cool.
- Just know that when the crust is all mixed in together, it's going to still feel very fine, it will not be nearly as crumbly as a lot crust mixtures feel like.
- You can substitute out the coconut extract with vanilla extract instead.
