BLUEBERRY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD



Blueberry Summer Squash Bread image

I started this bread because I needed to bake something to bring as a gift to someone's house and quickly found that my ingredients were limited to a few summertime fruits and veggies and not much else. As such, I improvised and changed a few things around from a zucchini bread recipe and created this healthy, hearty, summertime bread. It has a slightly different flavor than zucchini bread but the same moist consistency and sweet, summery taste and smell. Note: it is not very sweet and does taste 'healthy', so it's probably not a big hit for kids unless chocolate chips are added.

ZUCCHINI-BLUEBERRY BREAD



Zucchini-Blueberry Bread image

This is my lightened version of Recipe #70287. I made it multiple times this summer and it always turned out great - very flavorful & moist. I did find that if you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them or your batter will turn blue/green! If using frozen, you will need to bake it a little longer as your batter is going into the oven colder. Also, if you don't have zucchini, yellow summer squash makes an excellent substitute!

Time 1h35m

Yield 20-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 cups sugar
3 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh blueberries or 2 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
2 -4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine egg, egg substitute, oil, buttermilk, sugar, zucchini, vanilla, almond extract, and lemon zest (if desired).
  • Sift dry ingredients together and add to zucchini mixture.
  • Gently fold in blueberries & walnuts.
  • Pour into 2 greased & floured 8x4-inch bread pans, or one bundt pan. Bake for 1 1/4 hours or until golden brown & toothpick inserted comes out cleanly. (Baking time is listed for bread pans).
  • Let cool for about 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make glaze: Once cake/bread has cooled, melt butter over low heat, then stir in lemon zest and powdered sugar. Stir in lemon juice, 1 tbsp at a time, until smooth and a good consistency. Drizzle over cake/bread and sprinkle with freshly grated lemon zest.
  • Note: Because of the amount of moisture in this recipe, you may need to bake it longer than you might think. If you are unsure if it is done or not, add a few more minutes - it's almost impossible to over-bake this!

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large or have blemishes, as these can be bitter.
  • Grate the zucchini coarsely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Blueberry Summer Squash Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is packed with flavor from the zucchini, blueberries, and spices, and it is incredibly moist and tender. This bread is also a great way to use up any extra zucchini you may have on hand. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, this recipe is a must-try for any baker.
