NOT YOUR MOM'S ZUCCHINI BREAD



Not Your Mom's Zucchini Bread image

Yes, another zucchini bread recipe but this is soooo good. You've got to try just once. Sometimes I substitute 1 cup of the all purpose flour with whole wheat. The flax seed is optional, but no one really notices it, so I can boost the nutrition up a bit. THE LAST THREE INGREDIENTS ARE FOR THE CRUMB MIXTURE, IT WAS NOT LETTING ME LABEL THAT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.

My mom would always put a bumper crop of zucchini to use with this wonderful quick bread. It can be spiced or sweet, a loaf or a Bundt cake. Mom preferred to keep the spices and chocolate separate, but I like them combined. Either way, this unusual family favorite is sure to please your family and guests just as it has mine.

This zucchini bread recipe is super moist and super spicy, loaded with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. I tried several recipes before I asked my mom for her recipe. I go to the farmers market every Saturday and get these huge zucchinis, and this is the perfect use for them. It reminds me of my childhood. The loaves can be frozen and are great as gifts.

  • Grate the zucchini: This will help to release the moisture from the zucchini and make it easier to mix into the batter.
  • Use fresh ingredients: This will give your zucchini bread the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: This will help to give the bread a nice shape and even baking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
