Easy Pineapple Soufflé Recipe (1)

Every Easter and Thanksgiving, the aroma of my sister's legendary pineapple bread casserole wafts through the house, captivating our senses and calling us to the dinner table. It's always the perfect companion to our glazed ham and succulent turkey tenderloin.

And I never question why we enjoy this decadent dish alongside the savory main course instead of the dessert table. It's just too good to resist.

So, in the spirit of eating healthy, I looked behind the curtain in hopes of enjoying it on more than just a special occasion.

Luckily, a makeover of this 5-ingredient recipe was simple to do. The end result is still a tropical-flavored delight. But it has fewer calories and is a little healthier.

I also prepared a plant-based version so my vegan daughter could enjoy it, too!

Ingredients

Below are the ingredients to make this easy pineapple soufflé recipe:

Pick and choose the changes you want to make to your version. If you don't make any, you'll have classic pineapple soufflé.

  • Butter - Cut back on the amount of butter used. Butter is drizzled over the top to form the crispy topping. Use a spritzer or a careful hand to achieve a crust with less butter. We used ⅓ of a cup of butter.
  • Sugar - Use a combination of white sugar and a no-calorie sweetener to equal 1 cup of sugar. We used a half cup of stevia blend and a half cup of sugar, which was just the right amount of sweetness. Monk fruit is another option. You can also cut back the total amount of sugar to ¾ of a cup and will likely not notice any difference in the sweetness.
  • Bread - Use healthier bread, like white whole wheat. If you're used to keto bread, you should be able to use that too. You can also play around with the amount of bread. We used 5 slices to equal about 5 cups of cubes. For a traditional version, use white bread.
  • Crushed pineapple - Buy a can or use a food processor to crush fresh pineapple,

Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list of ingredients with measurements plus recipe instructions.

To enjoy a dairy-free and egg-free version of pineapple soufflé, make the following ingredient modifications:

  • Butter, Sugar, Bread - Use plant-based products.
  • Egg - Use Just Egg plant-based egg to replace 2 eggs.

To make a gluten-free pineapple soufflé, use your favorite GF bread.

What is a soufflé?

A soufflé is an airy baked dish that combines beaten egg whites with a flavorful base. So, while it's known as pineapple soufflé, it's really more of a bread pudding or casserole.

    This was a bit hit at Christmas dinner! I used flax eggs and vegan butter so that my vegan daughter would eat it. I doubled the recipe to fit the size of our crowd and made it in an 11 x 14 baking dish. It got rave reviews from even some of the pickiest eaters! Next time I would like to try it with wheat bread, but we used a homemade vegan-friendly white bread that worked great! Thank you! It's a keeper!
