Categories     Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Place eggs, oil, zucchini and vanilla extract in blender and puree.
  • Sift together sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Pour liquid ingredients into dry and mix.
  • Add nuts.
  • Divide batter into two loaf pans.
  • Bake at 325F degrees for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will result in a more moist bread.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to mix into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is not too large: A 9x5 inch loaf pan is the perfect size for this recipe. If you use a larger pan, the bread will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 55-65 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This zucchini bread recipe is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With its moist texture, delicious flavor, and beautiful golden-brown color, this bread is sure to be a favorite in your home. So next time you have a few extra zucchini, give this recipe a try.
