Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Use fresh, firm zucchini that is not too large. Larger zucchini tend to have a higher water content, which can make the loaf too moist.
  • Grate the zucchini coarsely. This will help to prevent the zucchini from releasing too much water into the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the loaf tough.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the loaf from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Apple Zucchini Loaf is a delicious and moist quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It is also a great way to use up extra zucchini from your garden.
