Sweet Summer Squash Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups grated yellow squash
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.

Mix flour, sugar, squash, oil, pineapple, nuts, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl; pour into prepared loaf pans.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool bread for 10 minutes in pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
