Zucchini-Pineapple Bread with Almond Milk Steamer

We make this zucchini bread frequently. It makes two loaves plus, usually some muffins, so we always stick a loaf in the freezer! It heats up wonderfully in the microwave! With the Almond milk steamer…microwave a cup of milk with your favorite spices (pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, etc.) and sugar, if using unsweetened milk, to taste.

Bread
3 Flax Eggs
1 ¼ cup sugar OR ¾ cup Honey
3 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Applesauce
2 TBS Oil
2 cups grated zucchini
3 ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
¼ tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1 ¼ cup Oatmeal (Rolled)
½ (large) can Crushed Pineapple, Drained well
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup Chopped Walnuts, (opt. but delicious!)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat sugar, vanilla, flax eggs, oil. Add applesauce and zucchini. Sift together all dry ingredients. Add dry mixture to wet mixture. DO NOT OVERMIX! Stir in nuts. Place in 2 greased 9x5 pans (loaf pans). Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes (just check the centers after 40 minutes. The bread should and will look brown long before the center is finished cooking.)
Allow bread to cool completely before cutting it!
