Note
Make sure to drain the pineapple well to prevent the batter from becoming too wet, which can affect the texture.
For a crispier edge, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can substitute coconut flakes for half of the pineapple for a tropical twist.
