Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the drained crushed pineapple. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini and, if desired, the chopped walnuts. Ensure the batter is evenly mixed without overworking it.
Divide the batter equally between the prepared loaf pans, leveling the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Oregonized Zucchini Pineapple Bread fresh or store it in an airtight container for up to a week.
