BLUE RIBBON ZUCCHINI NUT BREAD



Blue Ribbon Zucchini Nut Bread image

This is the best Zucchini Nut Bread I have ever had and the only one I will make. It's from "Country Fair Cookbook" All recipes in this book are Blue Ribbon winners from fairs around America prior to it's publication in 1975. Wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavor to mellow. I have also made this as muffins. Just lower the temperature. Now that I live in Australia I make this using the Aussie measuring cups and spoons and it turns out fine. I've also made it with half carrot and half zucchini. And other times I've used half wholewheat flour and half plain, just for a change and it works well too. My husband loves it and says it's more like a cake then a bread since it's so moist.

ZUCCHINI NUT BREAD

Categories     Bread     Appetizer     Breakfast     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups plain flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups unpeeled, grated zucchini
½ cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and soda. Beat eggs well and gradually add sugar and oil. Add vanilla and dry ingredients. Stir in zucchini. Add nuts. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350* for 1 hour, or a little less. Cool in pans a few minutes, remove from pans and cool on wire rack. May be frozen.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Use small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are large, soft, or have yellowing skin.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release the zucchini's moisture and make it easier to mix into the batter.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture: After grating the zucchini, place it in a colander and press out the excess moisture using a spoon or your hands. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming too wet.
  • Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will give your bread a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh nuts on hand, you can toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: Bake the bread at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Zucchini nut bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutty crunch, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some extra zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
