My mom would always put a bumper crop of zucchini to use with this wonderful quick bread. It can be spiced or sweet, a loaf or a Bundt cake. Mom preferred to keep the spices and chocolate separate, but I like them combined. Either way, this unusual family favorite is sure to please your family and guests just as it has mine.

NOT YOUR MOM'S ZUCCHINI BREAD



Not Your Mom's Zucchini Bread image

Yes, another zucchini bread recipe but this is soooo good. You've got to try just once. Sometimes I substitute 1 cup of the all purpose flour with whole wheat. The flax seed is optional, but no one really notices it, so I can boost the nutrition up a bit. THE LAST THREE INGREDIENTS ARE FOR THE CRUMB MIXTURE, IT WAS NOT LETTING ME LABEL THAT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe zucchini for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grate the zucchini with the large holes of a box grater.
  • Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the bread dry and crumbly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
