So moist, SO Blue Ribbon! We added the optional coconut and would highly recommend it. Including dried cranberries in the recipe adds a pop of flavor to the zucchini bread. This bread is so moist when you cut into it, it may break apart a bit. Make sure to grab every single crumb. It's that good. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Opt for Fresh Cranberries: If you have access to fresh cranberries, use them instead of frozen ones. Fresh cranberries tend to have a more vibrant flavor and texture.
  • Properly Measure Flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of using measuring cups.
  • Zucchini Preparation: Before adding zucchini to the batter, make sure to grate it finely. This will help it blend well and distribute its moisture evenly throughout the bread.
  • Nutmeg Addition: Nutmeg adds a warm and subtle spice to the bread. If you don't have nutmeg on hand, you can substitute it with pumpkin pie spice.
  • Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the bread as it bakes. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven. To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the bread is ready.

Conclusion:

This Cranberry Zucchini Bread is a delightful treat that combines the tanginess of cranberries with the moistness of zucchini. It's a perfect blend of flavors and textures, making it an excellent choice for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack.
