Time 1h30m

Yield Two {8½ x 4½-inch|22 x 11-cm} loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1¾ cup granulated sugar
2 cups grated zucchini (you'll need two medium zucchinis; do not wring out the liquid)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted if desired
½ cup currants or raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and set rack in middle position. Generously grease two 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to mix well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar. Add the grated zucchini, melted butter, and vanilla extract; using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the nuts and currants, then divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Set the pans on a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes, then turn the loaves out onto rack to cool completely.
  • Note: You can also add chocolate chips to this bread. I typically use between ¾ to 1 cup chocolate chips instead of nuts and currants. Whatever combination you use, just be sure total add-ins (nuts, currants, chips) do not exceed 1½ cups.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

ZUCCHINI FRUIT COCKTAIL LOAF



Zucchini Fruit Cocktail Loaf image

I was raised on a farm and learned to cook at a young age. My mother was so good at substituting ingredients if she thought something was missing in a recipe, so I tried the same when I first baked this bread. I added the fruit cocktail for more flavor and moisture-and it worked.

Time 1h15m

2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe zucchini: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your bread. Look for zucchini that is small to medium in size, with a deep green color and firm flesh.
  • Grate the zucchini: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade.
  • Drain the grated zucchini: This will help prevent your bread from being too moist. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and let it drain for 5-10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been removed.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter until just combined, then stop.
  • Don't overbake the bread: When a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, it is done. Overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly bread.

Conclusion:

Fruited zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fruits and nuts. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and colorful appearance, fruited zucchini bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
