Zucchini Pineapple Bread
Description
This recipe starts by mixing vegetable oil, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, brown and white sugars, and vanilla in a bowl. Grated zucchini and drained crushed pineapple are folded in to add moisture and subtle natural sweetness. Dry ingredients including flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are stirred in until just combined to avoid overmixing.
The batter is poured into a prepared loaf pan and baked at 350°F for around 60 minutes until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. The result is a soft, moist quick bread with gentle spice from cinnamon and bursts of fruit flavor from pineapple and zucchini. The loaf cools on a wire rack before slicing.
This bread makes a good breakfast option or afternoon treat, complementing coffee or tea. Adding chopped pecans provides extra texture and a nutty contrast. The combination of applesauce and oil maintains moistness without adding heaviness.
