  • 1 1/2 cups diced fresh or canned pineapple chunks, blotted dry and coarsely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk egg, yogurt, oil and vanilla until smooth. Add dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just blended. (Do not overmix.) Fold in pineapple. Scrape batter into prepared pan.
  4. In a small bowl, combine pecans and remaining 3 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle over batter.
