Prepare two loaf pans by greasing the sides and bottom with oil and lining them with parchment paper.

Grate two medium zucchinis to yield two cups of grated zucchini.

Spread the grated zucchini on a kitchen cloth and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to extract moisture. Set aside for a few minutes.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of oil, 3 eggs, 2 tsp of vanilla, and 2 cups of sugar. Whisk until light and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of baking powder.

Squeeze out most of the moisture from the zucchini using the kitchen towel.

Add the squeezed zucchini to the dry ingredients along with 1 cup of seedless raisins. Mix with fingertips to break up lumps.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Add one can of drained pineapple chunks and 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter and fold gently.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
