Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or ¾ cup if you prefer less sweet)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed of excess moisture
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained slightly
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5‑inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded zucchini, crushed pineapple, and nuts if using, mixing gently.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat flour for half the flour to add heartiness.
  • Add raisins or sweetened coconut flakes for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Stir in orange zest for a citrusy flavor boost.
  • Sprinkle turbinado or coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy crust.
  • Turn the batter into muffins—bake 20–25 minutes instead of the full loaf time.
