MUST-TRY, SUPER-MOIST ZUCCHINI BREAD



Must-Try, Super-Moist Zucchini Bread image

Notes: Baking by weight is always a good idea. Regarding flour, if you have a scale (this one costs $9!), weigh out 227 g flour. If you are using cups, use 2 cups, but fill them lightly. Loaf pans come in all different sizes. I love these Chicago Metallic standard 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pans and these Chicago Metallic mini loaf pans, which are so handy to have on hand around the holidays. If you use as much as a pound of zucchini, I highly recommend baking this bread in a 10x5-inch baking pan - it's only slightly larger than the 8.5x4.5-inch pan, but it makes a difference. My quick breads bake so much more evenly in this larger-size pan. To freeze: Be sure to let zucchini bread cool completely. Wrap in foil; then tuck into an airtight bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature. To make muffins: Simply, line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or grease with butter or nonstick spray. Fill cups no more than two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

a scant 2 cups (227 g) flour (see notes above)
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup light (213 g) brown sugar
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2½ cups grated zucchini, (12-16 oz.)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan or a 10 x 5-inch loaf pan if using as much as a pound of zucchini (see notes above). For easy removal, line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper that hangs over the edges.
  • Whisk together first five ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk remaining ingredients except zucchini. Add zucchini to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Add dry to wet and stir till until combined. Pour into pan. Bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you have an instant read thermometer, it should register 205ºF or above. (Note: Every oven is different, and different pans conduct heat differently - be patient with the cooking. It may take 20-30 minutes more. With the longer cooking time, the bread shouldn't burn, but if you are noticing the bread getting too brown, cover it with foil.)
  • Let bread cool for 15 minutes in pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

SOUR CREAM ZUCCHINI BREAD



Sour Cream Zucchini Bread image

This is an extremely good and rich bread, absoutely yummy fresh from the oven but it is great chilled from the refrigerator or heated with melted butter. It can be frozen too. I make mini loaves to give as great gifts! Adapted from Mike Dolan who posted it on recipelinks and I changed it to make it my own. It would even be good with chocolate chips added! :) Makes 2 regular loaves or 4 mini loaves. Enjoy! To make the bread even healthier, try substituting 1/2 of the oil with applesauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher moisture content, which will result in a moister bread. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and drained.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from clumping together.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help the bread rise evenly and prevent it from spreading out too much.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This super moist zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture and flavorful zucchini, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some extra zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
