These Pineapple Bars are such a happy dessert! They are full of pineapple bits and the perfect treat for Spring and Summer.
You know when you make a dessert and you just want to eat it all the time? That’s what happens when you make these pineapple bars. They are so good. I love baking with pineapple. The flavor is just perfection. Like in these Pineapple Cookies or Pineapple Upside Down Cake for 2.
And then you top them off with powdered sugar or a dollup of whipped cream. GOOD. Make them. I sometimes will tell you what to do because reasons. Just trust me on this. When my kids don’t listen to me and then find out they should have, I tell them “don’t say I didn’t tell you.” Cause I did.

Mandy, these look so yummy! And I love that it is such a simple recipe — aren’t those the best! Keeping this one in my “must” try recipe box.
I love pineapple in everything. This looks amazing!
Oh My Gosh!! These look amazing. It’s like and ooey gooey butter cake with Pineapple!!
Oooh, these look so yummy! And I can’t believe how short that ingredients list is. Totally making them soon!
That’s part of the awesomeness of these bars! Thanks, Amanda 🙂
Oh I know those types of recipes, the ones where you can’t put it down. These look great!
I am just wondering if I can make this with fresh pineapple? Does anybody know or has anybody tried it yet? I have a fresh pineapple on my kitchen counter than I would love to bake with and this recipe sounds absolutely fabulous! Thanks!
I haven’t tried it with fresh pineapple. You could give a try and just chop it up to match crushed pineapple. I googled this and came up with this thread:

Thank you for your help!!
Hello from New Zealand. I’ve just made this and it is delicious! It is delicate and buttery and so easy to make! I couldn’t help but tweak the recipe a little, I added a tsp of vanilla extract and 1/3 cup desiccated coconut. Yum. Will definitely make again, and will probably eat quite a bit before the Mr comes home from work.
I’m glad you enjoyed them! Your additions sound delicious. I don’t blame you for eating them before the Mr. gets home. I do it all the time!
