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

Let’s get baking! Follow these easy steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 9×5 bread pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Stir in the zucchini and pineapple (no need to drain!).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until no more flour streaks appear. The mixture will be thick, but don’t worry—it’s all part of the fun!
Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. To prevent excessive browning, place a piece of aluminum foil on the bread after 30-40 minutes of baking.
Store wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days.
