Zucchini Pineapple Bread

This easy zucchini-pineapple bread is the perfect healthy breakfast treat! Saving the pineapple juice strained from the can to brush on top of the bread keeps it moist and adds more pineapple flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (from about 2 medium zucchini)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches to hang over each long side.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a large bowl,
  3. Whisk oil, applesauce, vanilla and eggs in a small bowl until well combined. Fold the oil mixture into flour mixture until combined. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set the juice aside. Fold the drained pineapple and shredded zucchini into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with some moist crumbs, about 1 hour. (If needed, tent with foil during the last 20 minutes to keep the top from overbrowning.)
  5. Brush the top of the bread with the reserved pineapple juice. Transfer to a wire rack to cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan using the parchment as handles. Serve warm or at room temperature.
