This is a moist, sweet bread. Children love it and never know that they are eating a vegetable. Many years ago a friend went to Hawaii and gave me this recipe when she came back. I baked it for my children and it was always a favorite after school treat. Now my grand chldren enjoy it. I think you and yours will too.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 c all-purpose flour or unbleached all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3 large eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
1 c white sugar
1 c light brown sugar
1/2 c sour cream or light sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c grated zucchini (leave peel on)
1-2 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, well drained
1 medium bananas, mashed (optional)
3/4 c shredded coconut
2/3 c salted, roasted macadamia nuts, or walnuts rough chopped, (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two 9 x 5 in. loaf pans.
2. If using nuts, chop them & toss with some flour, so that they won't sink to the bottom of the bread; set aside.
3. Stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, in a bowl, until well blended; set aside.
4. Whisk together eggs, oil, applesauce and sugars, in a large bowl. Stir in sour cream, vanilla, zucchini, pineapple, coconut, and banana, if using, until well mixed.
5. Stir flour mixture in to wet ingredients, mixing, just until moistened. Fold in nuts, if using. Divide batter between prepared loaf pans.
6. Bake, until bread tests clean with a toothpick or knife, in center--about 50-60 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove, and finish cooling on wire racks. Makes 2 loaves--12 servings per loaf.

Tips:

Choose the right zucchini: For the best flavor and texture, use small to medium zucchini that are tender and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are large, old, or have blemishes.
Grate the zucchini coarsely: This will help to distribute the moisture evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too dense.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple will give the bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the batter.
Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut will bring out its flavor and add a nice crunch to the bread. You can toast the coconut in a skillet over medium heat until it is golden brown.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Tropical zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is a great way to use up summer zucchini and is a fun twist on the classic zucchini bread recipe. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and tropical flair, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
