Pineapple Coconut Zucchini Bread

Course: Breads-Rolls
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated zucchini about 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple well-drained
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, but highly recommended!
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the grated zucchini, well-drained crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut. Make sure the pineapple is really well-drained; excess moisture can make the bread gummy.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to a tough bread. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
  • Pour the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy! This bread is delicious on its own, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or a light cream cheese frosting.
