PINEAPPLE FRITTERS
These Pineapple Fritters are super easy to make and delicious with a cup of coffee!
If you love fritters but hate having to fry them, we love these Baked Apple Fritters! Great twist in a classic and they are delicious.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love pineapple and fritters, so this was a winner! They’re great warm with a cup of coffee and reheat well, too. We love how crisp they are with a soft, delicious center, and then they’re topped with powdered sugar. Just a great little treat!
WHAT OIL DO YOU USE?
We use olive oil with a high frying temperature to make these, but we have used canola in the past. Canola oil does make them more crispy but we like to fry with olive oil whenever we we can. You can use whatever oil you prefer just make sure it’s hot enough. Fair warning, these cook very fast, so pay attention when you need to flip them to the other side.
TOPPING IDEAS
We love these with just powdered sugar, but you could also do a powdered sugar glaze if you want them more like an apple fritter. Honey or syrup would be good as well. They are great with nothing on them too.
REHEAT FRITTERS
You can easily just heat them up in the microwave but the oven works well too. Place on baking sheet, in a preheated oven to 350 degrees. Depending on the size of the fritter, it will take 6-8 minutes.

Pineapple Fritters
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple drained
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cooking oil I use Olive Oil
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Add crushed pineapple and milk. Stir until dough sticks together. (If you think it is too thin, you can add more flour. If you think it is too thick, add more milk). I use 1/4 cup batter for each fritter.
- Have your oil hot and drop into hot oil. Mash out like patties with spatula. Brown on each side. Makes 12 fritters. Drizzle on syrup and powdered sugar or just use the powdered sugar.

Can you make the batter ahead of time and fry them as needed or can you freeze the cooked fritters?
Probably, but I have never tried it.
Your Pineapple Fritters look and sound amazing. Have you ever tried them with a little cinnamon added in?
No, but I’m sure that would be a good addition.
Delicious with scoop of vanilla ice cream!!
Amazing! Thank you for this recipe! Like a fruity funnel cake crossed with a donut … soooo delicious!
Hello Candace, thank you so much for the wonderful comment. So glad you enjoyed the fritters. They are one of my favorites. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Keep the pineapple juice and mix it with powdered sugar to make a glaze

Can’t wait to try this recipe, I’m going to try it with Gluten Free flour. Let you know how it works. Thanks!
Just for a little crunch, I think I’ll try adding some Panko breadcrumbs.
This recipe sounds delicious, and I’m planning on making these tonight. Thank you for your great recipes!
Made these for the first time and they are so good. I poured alittle of my pineapple juice I saved over them.
Can you use peaches?
I think you could, Betty, but I have not tried it.
Think I’ll try. Thank u.
Could you maybe add shredded coconut as well???
Yes, I think you could but I have not tried it.
Maybe a little rhum ?
This looks really good.
Going to try this one. Love your recipes!!! Thanks
Have mercy! Making these this week!
Hmmm I live in the Carribean, do you think it would be possible to just use slices of pineapple then dip in batter and fry?
Yes, I think you could do that Susan.
That’s what I was thinking.
I made these with my kids over the weekend and they were delicious! The recipe was easy enough for them to help, with their short attention spans, and it made enough that we have leftovers for breakfast during the week. Thank you much for sharing this recipe!
Thank you Carrie! So happy everyone enjoyed this recipe and thank you for letting me know. We love these fritters, too.
Thank you for sharing!! I love your recipes!!
Can you just use selfrising flour?
Yes, you can Linda.
Is it the same amount of self rising as the plain flour ????
Yes, it would be the same amount.
Thanks I can’t wait to try these.
If you use self-rising flour you would omit the baking powder, right?
Yes, you would, Cindy.
Thanks these fritters? They’re what’s for breakfast! Welcome home! I’ve missed you so!
Can you substitute almond milk for reg milk?
I have not tried it, Jennifer, but I think you could with no problem.
I use almond milk in all my recipes that require milk. Haven’t had any problems. States for use in cooking and baking on the carton.
They look & sound so good.. Can’t wait yo try..
Thanks for sharing..
I absolutley love your recepies, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Priscilla! Happy you enjoy the recipes and happy to have you on the site. Have a great weekend.
No egg?
No egg. I guess if you want to you could add one but I don’t find the recipe needs it.
Can you make these ahead or do you have to serve immediately
You can make ahead and reheat in the microwave. They keep well in the refrigerator for several days wrapped in foil. I make them and then reheat for breakfast in the mornings.
could you use pumpkin or apples or any other fruit to make a variety of fritters?
There are recipes for pumpkin and apple fritters posted under Breakfast recipes here on the site, Pearlie.
Can’t wait to try these, love any thing pineapple.
Love your food. Reminds me of my days as a kid on the farm.
how do I print these?
Look at the bottom of the recipe and you will see where you can pin it to Pinterest, share it on Facebook, etc. There is a printer icon there that looks like a printer. Click on that and you can remove the photo and any text you don’t want and print only the recipe, Jean.
I love to print the recipe WITH the picture. Makes it more appetizing. Also makes for a nice cookbook of favorite recipes to pass down to the children.
