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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light. Add the sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Stir in the grated zucchini and drained crushed pineapple into the wet ingredients until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve as is, or enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
