Zucchini Bread Recipe With Applesauce And Pineapple

We love zucchini bread and last year I tried a recipe for zucchini bread that had bananas in it which ended up being amazing. I thought it might be fun to try some other variations as well and this Pineapple Zucchini Bread is absolutely incredible. The pineapple flavor is subtle, but makes for a really light and refreshing version of zucchini bread!

Eggs– Lots of eggs needed to bind this bread together. You’ll need 3 of them! I always use large eggs in recipes.

Healthy

Oil– You can use vegetable oil or canola oil, but I like to use coconut oil in recipes. Make sure the coconut oil is liquefied before adding to the batter. You can swap all or part of the oil with applesauce, but the consistency of the bread will be different. Still delicious though!

Shredded zucchini– You can just leave the skin on the zucchini before grating. After you grate the zucchini, squeeze out the extra water if you can so you don’t add too much liquid to the recipe.

Flour– I use all-purpose flour, but bread flour works too. You can swap out some or all of the flour with whole wheat flour, but the consistency and texture of the bread will change.

Salt, baking soda and baking powder– Make sure the baking soda and baking powder aren’t old or expired or the bread will not rise properly.

Healthy Zucchini Bread With Pineapple

Crushed pineapple – You’ll need a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple. Make sure to drain it really well before adding to the batter or you will end up with too much moisture. I like to use a fine mesh strainer for this and then press the pineapple to help get even more moisture out.

Pour batter into two well greased 9X5 loaf pans and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Zucchini Bread With Coconut And Pineapple

No you do not have to peel zucchini before making zucchini bread. The peel on the outside of a zucchini is a lovely dark green and very tender. I just wash the zucchini, cut off the ends and then grate the entire vegetable. It’s very simple to do and I love seeing the tiny flecks of green in the bread after it’s baked.

Yes, you should squeeze out excess water from grated zucchini before adding it to your batter. Zucchini naturally has a lot of water in it. that becomes quite clear after grating it, if you simply leave it to rest for 5-10 minutes, the water will begin accumulating in the bowl! I like to squeeze as much out as possible before making it into zucchini bread. Interestingly enough, each zucchini is a bit different when it comes to water content. I find zucchini straight from my garden has quite a bit more water in it than zucchini from the grocery store. Both work well in this recipe! I say use what you’ve got!

Yes you can use frozen grated zucchini to make zucchini bread. Just defrost it, then squeeze out as much water as you can before mixing it in. Personally, I’m not a fan of how frozen zucchini tastes, so I like to bake several loaves of bread, then after cooling completely, I wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze them in a ziplock bag until we’re ready to eat it.

The easiest and best way to avoid sunken bread is to use a cooking thermometer to check the inside of the loaf. Fully cooked bread will register 200°F on a thermometer. My all-time favoritethermometer is the Thermapen. It’s super fast and incredibly durable. Anothergreat cooking thermometer is the ThermoPopwhich is a more basic version that works just as well!

I bake a lot of bread and the pans I prefer are eitherceramic, glass or cast iron. These pans will bake bread more evenly and release the bread more easily after baking. I don’t like using dark or nonstick pans because the bread cooks unevenly. It darkens on the outside before the bread is cooked on the inside, so the coloring is uneven.

Before you begin preparing the quick bread, you need to prep the zucchini. It is an easy process, but pay attention to my tips to ensure the perfect Zucchini Bread.

Whole wheat zucchini bread is very moist, therefore the bread will grow mold quickly if left at room temperature for more than one day.

Best Pineapple Zucchini Bread Recipe

I recommend allowing your zucchini bread to cool completely and then storing the zucchini bread in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Alternatively, you can freeze your cooled bread in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. I highly recommend wrapping the cooled bread in plastic wrap followed by foil before placing it into the freezer-safe bag, to prevent freezer burn. Defrost the bread overnight in the refrigerator and then enjoy it within 5 days.

Every time I go to the store (which is pretty much every other day), I buy a large bunch of bananas. The thought is that we’ll eat them, naturally. But in reality, 3 of the 6 bananas end up becoming brown-spotted.

One hint of brown on a banana, and no one in my family is going to eat it, so I end up using those browned bananas in banana bread or muffins. Or I mash them up and store them in the freezer for later use. Storing that mashed banana in the freezer, by the way, is a great tip. It looks kind of brown and yucky… but it still keeps well and works perfectly in banana bread recipes.
