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.

Most know I love to play in the kitchen. I combined Zucchini, Apple, Carrot, Raisins, and Walnuts. I reduced the sugar and oil. It came out absolutely delicious. It is not overly sweet.

CARROT ZUCCHINI BREAD



Carrot Zucchini Bread image

The bread is soft, tender, uber-moist, dense enough to be satisfying, but still light. It's just sweet enough to taste like a dessert and not like you're eating vegetables. It's an easy, no mixer recipe, that comes together quickly. Coconut oil adds a nearly imperceptible undertone that's sweeter and more fragrant than canola or vegetable oil, but substitute with them if desired. I grated the carrots and zucchini by hand using the coarsest blade on a box grater. The batter is quite thick and that's by design. Feel free to optionally add walnuts, raisins, or your favorite nuts or dried fruit, or glaze the bread if desired.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large egg
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup liquid-state coconut oil (canola or vegetable may be substituted)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cup sour cream (lite is okay; or Greek yogurt may be substituted)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1 cup grated carrots, laid loosely in cup and not packed (about 1 large/2 medium peeled and trimmed carrots)
1 cup grated zucchini, laid loosely in cup and not packed(about 1 medium/large trimmed zucchini)
1/2 cup walnuts, raisins, etc., optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside. Note - Loaf is not very tall as baked in a 9×5 pan, but I fear an 8×4 pan will be a bit too skimpy.
  • In a large bowl, add the the egg, brown sugar, oil, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don't overmix.
  • Add the carrots, zucchini, optional walnuts or raisins, and fold gently to combine.
  • Turn batter out into the prepared pan (it's quite thick, this is what you want), smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 52 to 58 minutes (I baked 54 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Tip - Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it at the 35 minute-mark to prevent top and sides from becoming overly browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of carrots, zucchini, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don't worry if it takes longer to bake than the baking estimates provided.
  • Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve with or glaze with Honey Butter, Cinnamon-Sugar Butter, or Vanilla Bean Browned Butter Glaze, or Cream Cheese Glaze. Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Blue Ribbon Zucchini Carrot Apple Bread Recipe image

Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cream Cheese Drip Frosting (optional):
2 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted, or canola oil
3 eggs
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pinch of cloves
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cut shredded zucchini (unpeeled)
1/2 cup plumped yellow raisins
1 cup finely diced, peeled apples
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 to 3 cups confectioner's sugar
Orange juice, as required

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 8x4" loaf pans or one Bundt pan. (This recipe can also make 18 to 24 muffins.) Place pans on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. In mixer bowl, blend sugar, butter or oil, eggs, orange juice and vanilla. In medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Fold dry ingredients into wet batter along with shredded carrots, zucchini, raisins, apples and walnuts. Spoon into prepared pans(s). Bake until done, about 1 hour, or until loaves spring back when gently touched with fingertips. Cool to room temperature before icing. *Cream Cheese Drip Frosting:* Place cream cheese, butter and most of confectioner's sugar in food processor or mixer bowl. Blend, adding more of confectioners' sugar and drizzling in a bit of orange juice to make soft, fluffy topping. Add more confectioners' sugar if required (or orange juice to loose, if necessary). Frost top of loaf or cake (if frost is soft enough, it will drip down sides), and garnish with shredded carrots and dusting of cinnamon before serving.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing and a tender crumb.
  • Zucchini and Carrot: Grate the zucchini and carrot finely using the small holes of a box grater for a smooth texture.
  • Measuring Flour: Use the spoon and level method to measure flour for accurate results.
  • Mixing: Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine to avoid overmixing and a tough loaf.
  • Baking Pan: Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
  • Raisins: Toss the raisins in a little flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Baking Time: Check the bread for doneness using a toothpick inserted into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
