JUDY'S ZUCCHINI BREAD



Judy's Zucchini Bread image

Got this from my friend Judy, it's the best zucchini bread recipe i've found so far. Serve for breakfast, a snack or dessert. It's great with butter, plain or cream cheese. We are not fans of nutmeg, BUT this recipe is the exception.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 c sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
1 c oil
2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 c grated whole zucchini
3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1-2 c chopped nuts, your choice, or optional

Steps:

  • 1. You will need 2 Cups of grated zucchini. IF you are using an 8-10 young zucchini, there's no need to peel or de-seed. IF they get away from you and you have a baseball bat sized one, just peel it lightly, cut it in half and remove the seeds.
  • 2. Combine and mix wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl.....you can beat the eggs and add separately. i just usually add them 1 at a time and let the mixer do the work. The grated zucchini is considered a wet ingredient. Set aside.
  • 3. In another large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir to mix.
  • 4. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until well combined.
  • 5. IF you are using nuts, now is the time to add them, stir them in. It's just as good with or without. We have a lot of nut allergies, so I usually leave them out, or maybe just add to one loaf.......I especially like pecans or black walnuts in this.
  • 6. Spray or butter 2 loaf pans well. I use Baker's Joy. It will stick if you don't. Bake at 350* for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan, 5-10 min and remove to wire rack.
  • 7. This freezes well. If you are over-run with zucchini, grate and freeze it in 2 Cup amounts. Thaw in a colander and squeeze/press the moisture out. You do not need to squeeze the moisture out of the freshly grated zucchini, although i do usually let it hang out in the colander for a bit, while i'm mixing everything else up.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups shredded zucchini (2 to 3 medium)
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose or whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins, if desired

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Use fresh, young zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Overripe zucchini can be watery and bitter.
  • Grate the zucchini coarsely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too mushy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help it set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Judy's Home-Grown Zucchini Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for using up summer zucchini. With its moist, tender texture and sweet, slightly spicy flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a zucchini glut, don't hesitate to give this recipe a try!
