Yield 15 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1 cup all-purpose and 1 cup whole wheat flour)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves (the nutmeg and the cloves are optional, you'll just have a less spicy bread)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar (I used 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (I used 1/2 cup oil and 1/4 cup apple sauce. Less fat.)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
1 1/2 cup peeled and grated sweet potato
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9×5x3- inch loaf pan and set aside. Sift the first 7 ingredients into a medium sized bowl. In a seperate, large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in the zucchini and sweet potato. Add the dry ingredients and stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts and cranberries and stir well. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool bread in pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Loosen the edges of the bread with a butter knife and turn out on a rack to cool completely. Can be prepared 1 day in advance. Wrap in foil and keep at room temperature.

Tips:

- To ensure your zucchini bread turns out moist and tender, make sure to grate the zucchini finely. This will help it release more moisture and evenly distribute it throughout the batter. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - To achieve a golden brown crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter before baking. You can also sprinkle it with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon for an extra touch of sweetness. - Let the zucchini bread cool completely before frosting or glazing it. This will help prevent the frosting or glaze from melting and running off the bread. - Zucchini bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Zucchini bread is a versatile and delicious treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert.

Whether you're looking for a classic recipe or something with a unique twist, there's a zucchini bread recipe out there to suit your taste.
