SPICED ZUCCHINI BREAD



Spiced Zucchini Bread image

My mother made this many summers while I was growing up. She would make large batches of them and freeze them. I have eaten other people's zucchini bread over the years, but none were as moist or yummy as mom's. I dug this recipe out after a recent group discussion and thought I would also post it here. I hope you try it and...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick butter or margarine
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 c zucchini (raw, finely grated, unpeeled; packed but not too tightly)
1/2 c walnuts
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs. Combine dry ingredients in a seperate bowl. Stir half of the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Stir in the zucchini. Add the remaining dry ingredients. Add nuts and vanilla. Mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan (9x5x3). Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 min. Makes one loaf.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will help keep your bread moist. If you only have older zucchini, you may need to add an extra egg or two to the batter.
  • Grate your zucchini finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from clumping together.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Spiced zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up fresh zucchini, and it's also a healthy and flavorful snack or breakfast option. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect loaf of spiced zucchini bread every time.
