Here's a Zucchini Bread With a Hawaiian Twist! Gluten Free Pineapple Zucchini Bread

With all the zucchini I have around my house I decided to try out a new recipe for zucchini bread.  I was a bit hesitant because I never thought of putting pineapple into a zucchini bread.  But I had a bit of pineapple in a container  that i needed to use up; so I went for it. 

 I  halved this recipe from my Syre School Cookbook, and it came out beautifully. And the pineapple really tasted great in this bread!  A perfect way to blend the great summer flavor of pineapple  with fall zucchini! 

And this bread came out nice and moist as you can see in the picture I took.

 Gluten Free Pineapple Zucchini Bread

1.  Prepare dry ingredients - Put in a medium sized bowl:
(1)  1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour:  I used 1/2 cup of brown rice flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour, 1/4 cup garbanzo flour, and 1/4 cup almond meal.
(2)  Add leavening & spices:  Stir in 1/4 t baking powder, 1 t baking soda, 1/2 t salt, 3/4 t cinnamon,  1/4  t nutmeg, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. 

2.  Prepare egg/oil mixture - In a large bowl put:
(1) Beat  2 eggs until frothy
(2) Add 1/2 cup olive oil (I used 1/4 cup oil/1/4 cup applesauce), 1 cup of brown sugar (I used 3/4 cup because of the applesauce and I like to cut down on it ), and 1 t vanilla and beat until thick and foamy. 
(3)  Stir in 1 cup of grated zucchini and 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple just until blended. 

3.  Baking bread:
(1)  Spoon batter into greased 9 x 5 loaf pan 
(2)  bake at 350 for 40-60 minutes.  Check it around 40 minutes in case your oven like mine runs hotter to see if a wooden toothpick comes out clean. 

(3)  Cool it for 10 minutes and then turn out on rack to cool completely.
