1 hrsYour bread machine is about to earn its counter space.
Crushed pineapple and grated carrots go right into the pan with rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and bread flour. Applesauce and a touch of brown sugar handle the sweetness while vanilla rounds out the flavor.
No oil, no butter, no eggs. This loaf gets its moisture entirely from the fruit and vegetables. The oats give it a hearty chew, and the whole wheat adds a nutty depth that plain white bread just can’t match.
Load the ingredients, press start, and come back to a warm loaf that smells like a tropical bakery.
Kitchen Tips
- Add ingredients in the order listed. Most bread machines want liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast on top.
- Use the whole wheat cycle if your machine has one. The longer knead time helps develop gluten with the heavier flours.
- Drain the crushed pineapple lightly but don’t squeeze it bone dry. You need some of that juice for moisture.
- This bread toasts beautifully. Try it with a thin spread of cream cheese for breakfast.
Ingredients
Directions
Follow the directions for your bread machine.
If your bread machine offers a longer kneading time or “whole wheat” program use it. Otherwise this recipe works well using the “normal” cycle.
Generally directions for most bread machines are, add ingredients in the order they are listed.
Press start. Machine will beep when done.
Your bread machine may be different but have no fear, add ingredients, press start and enjoy the results.

This recipe, like many others, does not tell what settings to use. I would have liked to use it, but will not.
