Pineapple Zucchini Bread

by 4 Comments

Pineapple Zucchini Bread is a moist and flavorful sweet bread that gets it’s moistness from the zucchini and flavor from the pineapple.  I like this for breakfast or served as a dessert.

This recipe makes two loaves, I added chopped pecans to the top of one of the loaves.

 

Creamy butter is a perfect topping.

Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

by 1 Comment

I am not a huge lover of bananas, but I do love a good banana bread/muffin. I love it even more when you add chocolate to it. I learned this when a friend made me some banana muffins with chocolate chips in them and I knew that I would be adding chocolate chips to my banana bread recipe!

Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

I made 3 loaves in mini loaf pans and 1 regular size loaf pan. This bread freezes well for up to 1 month.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (plus a few more for on top of the bread)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch bread loaf pans. You could also use smaller pans (as seen in the photo).
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with a hand mixer until light yellow and frothy. Add oil, brown sugar, white sugar, grated zucchini, bananas, and vanilla; blend together until well combined. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry mix at a time to the mixing bowl and mix until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 - 50 minutes. Allow to cool in the loaf pans on a wire rack before removing and serving.
