- 2 ½ cups grated zucchini
- 1 ounce can crushed pineapple drained

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of the loaf pans. Spray two 8x4 1/2" loaf pans with vegetable spray and place the parchment in the bottom of the pans. Set aside.
- Place the pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes, then chop. Set aside.

- Gradually add the sugar into the eggs, beating constantly until thick and lemon colored.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk to combine and stir into the wet ingredients.
- Add the zucchini, drained pineapple and toasted pecans to the batter. Divide evenly between the two loaf pans, but don't over fill. Only fill batter up to 2/3-3/4 way up the pan. Any leftover batter can be made into a smaller loaf or cupcakes.
