Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 orange zested (about 1 Tablespoon)
- 3 egg large
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup pineapple drained, crushed
- 1 cup zucchini shredded
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Beat butter with sugars. Beat in vanilla, orange zest and eggs. Add in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Fold in pineapple, zucchini, carrots and nuts.
- Pour into two greased loaf pans (I line the bottoms with parchment paper). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. Remove from pans, cool, and enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- To keep the bread from sticking to the bottom of the loaf pans, I recommend lining the bottom of the pans with parchment paper. A spritz of cooking spray helps too!
- Remove the zucchini bread from the pans shortly after taking it out of the oven. Then, let the bread finish cooling completely on wire racks before slicing.
- The nuts are optional. You can also sub chopped pecans if you prefer!
- Make sure to use crushed pineapple with the juices drained. I haven't tested the recipe with other kinds of pineapple but I think the crushed texture of the canned variety is important!
