BARB'S ZUCCHINI CHERRY BREAD/MUFFINS



Barb's Zucchini Cherry Bread/Muffins image

I inherited a old recipe from a family friend for a traditional (read unhealthy) zucchini and set about fixing it and making it just a bit different. I use cherries as I spent my summers in Northern Michigan eating the cherries right off the trees but feel free to mix it up according to your tastes - my sons favorite is cherry and chocolate chip and my husband prefers chocolate pecan. The recipe can handle up to 2 cups of "add-ins"

JAMES BEARD'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

This rather unusual loaf has a very pleasant flavor, a little on the sweet side, and a distinctive texture. The built-in moisture provided by the zucchini makes it a very good keeper. It can be prepared with 1 cup of whole wheat flour instead of all white flour.

Tips:

  • Prep your Zucchini: Grate your zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to your batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh zucchini, eggs, and butter will give your bread the best flavor.
  • Add Some Spices: A little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice can add extra flavor to your bread.
  • Don't Overbake the Bread: Overbaking can make your bread dry. Check it with a toothpick at the end of the baking time. If it comes out clean, your bread is done.
  • Let the Bread Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
