This recipe was request from one of my YouTube subscribers. She asked me to make some pineapple related recipes so I got to thinking. The only thing I could think of was a pineapple upside down cake which I think is kinda boring. Let me know what you think in the comments. But then I got to thinking about lemon bars and I have seen key lime bars so I thought why not pineapple. Then I went to the fridge. And I had no eggs. Oops. Guess I gotta make this eggless. Hmmmm. aha! So it’s a well known trick that sweetened condense milk can be used in place of eggs. 1/4 of a cup of sweetened condensed milk is equal to 1 large egg. I do have a post on baking substitutions if you are interested.
Eggless Recipes: Pineapple Bars: How do I get the juice?
To get the juice for these pineapple bars, I used fresh pineapple and just blend it up in the blender and passed it through a sieve to get out any pulp.
So that is it. Pretty short and sweet but of coarse if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I hope you all enjoy this recipe, thank you all for stopping by and I will see you next time. Bye.
