Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups zucchini, grated
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light. Add the sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the grated zucchini and drained crushed pineapple into the wet ingredients until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is, or enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
