We didn’t plant a garden this year. Lucky for us, my parents did. They’ve been giving us lots of zucchini. I know there are lots of folks out there who’d rather get anything besides zucchini, but not us. We love it! It is just so dang versatile. I’ve been trying all sorts of new zucchini recipes, both savory and sweet. This Pina Colada Zucchini Bread was one of my favorites. Love the crunch of coconut on top. So yummy!
Pina Colada Zucchini Bread
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp coconut extract
3 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
4 cups flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup coconut, divided
Whisk together eggs, oil, extracts, zucchini, and pineapple. Combine dry ingredients and stir in till just moistened. Stir in about 2/3 cup of the coconut. Pour batter into two large loaf pans. Sprinkle remaining coconut on top. Bake at 325° for about 50-60 minutes, or till toothpick comes out clean.

I just made the pina colada bread. It was delish. My kids kept saying eew as I was shredding the zucchini, but couldn’t wait to taste it when they could smell it baking. They loved it, even with the zucchini in it.
So glad to hear it was a hit!
oh THANK YOU for posting these! I’ve got zucchinis coming out of my ears and need some creative ways to eat them disguised as something else! 🙂 Can’t wait to try these out!
