Zucchini Pineapple Bread

“Growing up, since Mom was allergic to zucchini, we had mainly Banana Bread around the house. Somewhere though, I happened upon some very moist and delicious zucchini bread. I found out the secret to that moistness was pineapple! So I searched for a recipe and found this one. It’s a great way to eat your vegetables!” – April Ferre

  • Pour into 2 greased 9×5-inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
