Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 cups Zucchini
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.75 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.5 cups Chopped macadamia nuts
• 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch (or 9x5-inch) loaf pans and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients (oil mixture) to the dry ingredients and gently stir until partially combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the zucchini, pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nuts mixture until the batter is evenly combined.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
