MY KID'S FAVORITE ZUCCHINI BREAD



My Kid's Favorite Zucchini Bread image

This recipe is delicious, moist and a great way to use up all the zucchini that your garden produces. Enjoy! Shred the zucchini first and let it sit in a colander to drain while putting the other ingredients together. I use very large zucchini from my garden and cut out all the seeds. Use left over shredded zucchini to make fritters. Optional additions include pecans, walnuts, dried cherries, raisins, or chocolate chips.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

BREAD INGREDIENTS:
3 tsp vanilla
1 c vegetable or canola oil
3 large eggs, beaten
3 c flour
2 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 c sweetened coconut
2 c peeled, grated zucchini
1/2 c pecans, optional
STREUSEL INGREDIENTS:
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
VANILLA ICING:
1 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp warm milk or cream (add milk to desired consistency)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two standard loaf pans well.
  • 2. Combine dry bread ingredients in a large bowl and whisk. (You can sift if you'd like, but I just whisk them.)
  • 3. Combine wet ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly start to incorporate dry ingredients with a hand mixer until blended. By hand, stir in zucchini, nuts (if using) and coconut. (Mixture will be thick.)
  • 4. Combine streusel ingredients.
  • 5. Pour 1/4 of batter into each pan. Top with 1/4 of streusel. Then and 1/4 more batter to each pan and top with remaining streusel on each.
  • 6. Bake for 1 hour and then check with a toothpick. Toothpick should come out almost clean. If it is still wet, return to oven for a few minutes. Baking time should be 1-1 1/4 hours, depending on how hot your oven is. (Gas and electric cook differently.)
  • 7. When done, cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool for 15 minutes on wire rack. While cooling, mix icing ingredients. Place waxed paper under rack and spoon icing over warm bread and allow to cool.

Tips:

  • Fresh Zucchini: Use fresh, tender zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Grate the zucchini with a box grater or food processor for quick and easy prep.
  • Measuring Zucchini: Pack the grated zucchini into the measuring cup to ensure accurate measurements.
  • Oil or Butter: Both oil and butter can be used in this recipe. Oil will result in a moist, tender crumb, while butter will add a richer flavor.
  • Spices: Feel free to add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture.
  • Baking Time: Bake the zucchini bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, dense loaf.
  • Cooling: Allow the zucchini bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This easy zucchini bread recipe is a delicious and versatile treat that's perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. With its moist, tender crumb and flavorful zucchini, it's a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden or local market. Feel free to experiment with different spices and add-ins to create your own unique variations. Enjoy!
