Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup melted butter or light olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (4 1/2 ounces) coarsely shredded zucchini, not squeezed
4 ounces (scant ½ cup) canned crushed pineapple, not drained

Directions

Time to bake! Follow these simple steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 9×5 bread pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla until combined. Stir in the zucchini and pineapple (no need to drain or squeeze).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until there are no more flour streaks. The batter will be thick, but don’t worry—the zucchini and pineapple will add moisture!
Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. After 30-40 minutes, cover with foil to prevent over-browning.
Store wrapped in plastic at room temperature for up to 3 days.
