Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pineapple Bliss Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in ½ cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Mix in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple.
  4. Pour the pineapple filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center feels slightly firm.
  5. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
