We can all agree that zucchini bread is one of the things we most look forward to when spring and summer gardens start producing each year. This particular recipe adds in crushed pineapple and raisins to the batter – and it makes typical zucchini bread so much more moist and flavorful!

If you’ve ever grown zucchini you’ll empathize that most years one plant gives WAY more zucchini squash than one family can eat! Keep this pineapple zucchini bread recipe on hand. It’s easy to keep the remaining ingredients on hand to make batches of this delicious bread up whenever you have some extra zucchini to use.

What’s in this recipe?

• shredded zucchini
• crushed pineapple
• raisins
• eggs
• oil
• pantry baking ingredients

Special things you’ll need:

• a food processor or hand grater for the zucchini
• two loaf pans
• a stand mixer

How to make this recipe:

1. Shred the zucchini using a food processor with a grating attachment, or a hand grater.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla.

3. Add in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined. The batter will be a thick cookie dough consistency.

4. Add in crushed pineapple, raisins, and grated zucchini. Blend until all ingredients are incorporated. The batter will be a bit looser after adding these ingredients.

5. Divide batter among two loaf pans that have been sprayed with non stick spray.

6. Bake and cool before slicing and serving.

I just love seeing those green ribbons of shredded zucchini throughout this bread!

How many zucchini will I need for 2 cups shredded?

You’ll need 2 regular sized zucchini or 3 small zucchini to get 2 shredded or grated cups.

Can I omit the raisins?

Yes you can! Just proceed with the recipe as written.

Can these loaves be frozen?

Absolutely! Just be sure they are completely cooled before wrapping well and freezing.

Recipe pro tips:

• If you are growing zucchini in your yard, invest in a food processor with a grating attachment! You will thank me when you’re grating pounds and pounds of zucchini to use in soups, stews, baked goods, or for freezing. It’s well worth it!
• Keep a pack of cheap wooden skewers in your kitchen for testing baked goods done-ness. Each oven is different so it’s important to test and see if the inside is baked accurately!
