Ingredients

  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups raw zucchini, grated & squeezed
  • 1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3 cups flour (I use whole wheat but white is fine)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Method

  • Beat eggs until light and fluffy.
  • Add sugar and beat until blended.
  • Stir in oil, vanilla, zucchini, and pineapple.
  • Sift dry ingredients and stir into egg mixture along with nuts.
  • Bake in two greased loaf pans (8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5)at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
  • **Note: The loaf in the photo has been made with 100% whole wheat flour and instead of nuts I added raisins. I also doubled the recipe. The zucchini was previously grated and frozen so juice and all was added -- I had extra zucchini so a bit extra was added.
