CREAM CHEESE ZUCCHINI BREAD (LOAF AND/OR MUFFINS)



Cream Cheese Zucchini Bread (Loaf And/Or Muffins) image

This was a forgotten recipe in Private Recipes folder. I vaguely remember working on it a year or so ago! I tried it out again this morning, and it's very good if I do say so myself. I use Splenda and low fat ingredients and am posting it that way for the nutritional info, but feel free to use regular ingredients if you desire. This makes two loaves so you can eat one and give one away or freeze for later use. When I made it this morning, I made a loaf and 10 muffins. Because I was using it as a breakfast bread I left out the brown sugar to make it less sweet. For a sweeter, snack type bread, make as written. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful zucchini bread, use fresh, grated zucchini. Grating the zucchini helps release its moisture, which contributes to the bread's texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is greased and floured. This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread at the correct temperature. The ideal temperature for baking zucchini bread is 350°F (175°C). Baking at a higher temperature can cause the bread to brown too quickly and become dry.
  • Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the bread needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and cream cheese filling, this bread is sure to please everyone. Whether you make it as a loaf or as muffins, cream cheese zucchini bread is a great way to use up fresh zucchini and enjoy a tasty homemade snack.
