Zucchini Bread - Betty Crocker 1996 image

This recipe is tried and true,infact I've used it for over a dozen years. Terrific to help get rid of that bumper crop of zucchini out in the garden. I will even shred the zuchinni and freeze it in ziplocks for the winter time when I go on my baking sprees. The spices really make this recipe, thanks to the cinnamon and cloves. Enjoy!!!

Tips:

Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will result in a moist bread.
Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini evenly distribute throughout the bread.
Use a combination of flours. All-purpose flour is a good base, but adding a little whole wheat flour or almond flour will add flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will help the bread rise and develop a golden crust.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you have some extra zucchini, be sure to try one of these recipes!
