  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups finely shredded unpeeled zucchini

  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup cooking oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans toasted

  • Drain zucchini in a colander. Press and squeeze very well to remove as much of the excess liquid as possible. In a medium bowl, combine drained zucchini, eggs, pineapple, sugar, oil and vanilla. Add zucchini mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in 3/4 cup of the nuts. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Sprinkle with remaining nuts.

Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. If you like, serve with cream cheese or butter. Makes 2 loaves (32 slices).
