Time 1h30m

Yield Two {8½ x 4½-inch|22 x 11-cm} loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1¾ cup granulated sugar
2 cups grated zucchini (you'll need two medium zucchinis; do not wring out the liquid)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted if desired
½ cup currants or raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and set rack in middle position. Generously grease two 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to mix well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar. Add the grated zucchini, melted butter, and vanilla extract; using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the nuts and currants, then divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Set the pans on a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes, then turn the loaves out onto rack to cool completely.
  • Note: You can also add chocolate chips to this bread. I typically use between ¾ to 1 cup chocolate chips instead of nuts and currants. Whatever combination you use, just be sure total add-ins (nuts, currants, chips) do not exceed 1½ cups.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Zucchini Bread

Time 1h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 cups grated zucchini
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter two loaf pans.
  • Mix kosher salt into zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a strainer and rinse very thoroughly under cold water to remove salt. Let drain for 15 to 20 minutes before using.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl. Reserve until needed.
  • Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla in another large mixing bowl, and whisk until mixture is smooth and turns a pale yellow, about 1 minute. Grab a handful of the drained zucchini with both hands and squeeze out any excess water before transferring into the egg-sugar mixture. Repeat until all the zucchini has been transferred in.
  • Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Stir walnuts into the batter, followed by the flour mixture. Use a spatula to mix until the flour disappears.
  • Transfer into the prepared loaf pans. Tap pans on the countertop to settle the batter.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a skewer poked in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then turn out on to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before serving.
