Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 3 - eggs
  • 2 cups sugar (granulated)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 8oz. cans crushed pineapple (well drained)

How To Make zucchini bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Step 2
    Combine dry ingredients and pecans. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Beat eggs lightly in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, oil and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
  • Step 4
    Stir in zucchini and pineapple.
  • Step 5
    Add dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, stirring only until moist. (Over mixing this step will result in a heavy, dry, and compact bread!).
  • Step 6
    Spoon batter into 2 well greased (I use shortening)and floured (sides too) loaf pans.
  • Step 7
    Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour or until done. ( I use a toothpick inserted in the center and watch for the sides to pull away from the pan a little).
  • Step 8
    Cool 10 minutes in pan. Turn out on wire rack and cool completely. Enjoy!!
