Enjoy this delicious and moist zucchini bread with the addition of pineapple!
My neighbor brought over two very large zucchinis yesterday. They were huge, like larger than my arm huge. I don’t know what you do when you are given or grow a large zucchini – you know the kind that somehow managed to hide away under the plants until it is so large that you either trip over it or it invades your home – but I chose to make zucchini bread. And not just any kind of zucchini bread but this time I made zucchini bread with pineapple.
It was delicious! I love the addition of pineapple. I don’t know if it was the pineapple that sent the zucchini bread over the top or all the cinnamon and allspice but all that goodness mixed together made a wonderful zucchini bread with pineapple.
I made 3 loaves yesterday; one for my neighbor to thank them for the zucchini, one to share at church with my young women, and one for Craig and I to eat. Just so you know though, 3 loaves was just the start of all that grated zucchini. I froze 9 more cups of zucchini divided into 3 cup portions. We can have this delicious zucchini bread with pineapple all winter long!!!!!!

So wonderful. And the next loaves I made I added nuts and chocolate chips

Do you “ring out” the zuchinni before putting it in the recipe? Do you drain the pineapple? Thanks. Pinned 🙂
Ellen Garrett says
My zucchini was dry enough that I did not need to “wring it out” but if yours is super wet, I would recommend it. I did not drain the pineapple, I added it with all the juice. I hope you like it.
