Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1.5 cups Shredded zucchini (packed)
• 0.5 cup Walnuts (optional, chopped)
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and stir until combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded zucchini to the wet mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
