🍍 Pineapple Zucchini Bread – Moist, Tropical, and Guilt-Free!
I remember the first time I tried pineapple in bread. Honestly? I was skeptical. I mean, pineapple… in bread? But girl, let me tell you – the moment I sliced into that golden loaf and took a bite, I knew I was in trouble (the good kind). This recipe is soft, slightly tropical, perfectly spiced, and so addictive it should come with a warning.
It’s the kind of bread you bake once and suddenly everyone’s texting: “Hey, you got any of that pineapple zucchini magic left?”
🌿 Why Pineapple + Zucchini Works So Well
The pineapple gives the bread a juicy, tangy sweetness. The zucchini keeps it extra moist (without tasting like a vegetable at all – promise). Combine that with a little cinnamon and a touch of vanilla? Chef’s kiss.
Whether you’re making it for a lazy Sunday brunch or meal prepping snacks for the week, this is one of those recipes that feels fancy but is secretly super simple.
