NON STICK SPRAY
1 c zucchini, finely grated (about one medium zucchini)

1 tsp instant coffee powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp clove
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 eggs
1/2 c applesauce
1 c vegetable or coconut oil
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 3/4 c zucchini puree
1/2 c pecans (candied even better)
1 c dark chocolate chips or chunks
1/4 c chopped pecans
1 c christmas color m&ms (preferably minis)
olive oil non stick stray
cocoa powder for dusting

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325.
  • 2. Beat your sugar, eggs, and oil for 3 minutes.
  • 3. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Beat for additional minute.
  • 4. Slowly add, while beating, the rest of the dry ingredients, save the chocolate chunks, nuts, and M&Ms.
  • 5. Fold in chocolate chunks and candied pecans.
  • 6. Spray two loaf pans with olive oil non stick spray and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
  • 7. Pour half batter in each pan.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right zucchini: For the best flavor and texture, choose medium-sized zucchini that feel firm and heavy for their size. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they tend to be watery and less flavorful.
  • Grating the zucchini: To ensure even cooking and a moist texture, grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Avoid chopping or slicing the zucchini, as this will result in a dry, crumbly bread.
  • Measuring the grated zucchini: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to measure the grated zucchini. This will help you achieve the perfect balance of ingredients for a moist and flavorful bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
  • Baking the bread: To prevent the bread from overcooking, start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

    Conclusion:

    Zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, nutty flavor, and abundance of healthy ingredients, this bread is a great way to use up summer zucchini and satisfy your sweet tooth.
