Directions
- 1Combine two cups of all-purpose flour, two cups of sugar, two eggs, one teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- 2Add a full 20 oz can of crushed pineapple and one teaspoon of vanilla, then mix until it has an oatmeal consistency.
- 3Stir in one cup of chopped pecans.
- 4Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a butter knife inserted comes out clear.
