CARIBBEAN ZUCCHINI BREAD
My grandmother came up with this recipe to use up some larger than life zucchini that came from her garden. This is an easy way to use up those leftover bananas too!

CLASSIC ZUCCHINI BREAD
A quintessential quick bread, zucchini bread blurs the line between breakfast and cake, making it acceptable for both. This version is on the sweeter side, the vegetal flavors mellowed by brown sugar, cinnamon and a bit of browned butter. While not always necessary, squeezing excess water from the zucchini will prevent the batter from being too wet while keeping the end result moist. Since this recipe makes two loaves (if you're going to grate all that zucchini, might as well make it count), know that one will freeze excellently for at least a month. The recipe can also be halved with great success.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 8-x4-inch loaf pans with softened butter and line with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and smell like hazelnuts, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a whisk to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot; set aside.
- Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Whisk together eggs, light brown sugar, sugar and canola oil in a medium bowl until no lumps remain and eggs are well blended.
- Using your hands, squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini. Add zucchini and browned butter to the egg mixture, whisking to blend.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to slowly incorporate until no dry spots remain.
- Divide batter among prepared pans, smoothing the top. Sprinkle both with demerara sugar, if using, and place in oven. Bake, rotating once, until bread is golden brown on top, pulls away from the sides and springs back lightly when pressed at the top, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the loaf pan.

BLUE RIBBON ZUCCHINI NUT BREAD
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini is more flavorful and has a better texture than zucchini that has been sitting in the refrigerator for a while.
- Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini to distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too chunky.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked all the way through.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Caribbean zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and hints of Caribbean spices, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
