100% WHOLE WHEAT ZUCCHINI BREAD



100% Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread image

This is a zucchini bread made only with whole wheat flour, I'm sure you could make it 1/2 with whole wheat flour and 1/2 with all purpose. It is really easy and delicious! It turns out quite sweet with 1 1/2 cups of sugar so if you're trying to cut back on sugar I think only 1 cup would be enough --> this recipe makes 2 loaves

WHOLE WHEAT ZUCCHINI BREAD



Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread image

I took an old favorite and juiced it up by cutting the white sugar completely, replacing with honey and brown sugar to reduce the total sweetener by half. I also cut the oil back to 25 percent and introduced one-third whole wheat flour. The results are in; it's even better than the original! I like to use the huge zucchini that didn't get picked on time, as long as it's still green and healthy. This is a large batch recipe, but you can easily cut it in half.

SUGAR-FREE WHOLE WHEAT ZUCCHINI BREAD



Sugar-Free Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread image

We had a bumper crop of zucchini this year, so what to do? I took a basic zucchini bread recipe and tweaked it so that my hubby and I could enjoy a healthier version. We're not diabetic but we have avoided excess sugar consumption for some time now, and we're trying to incorporate more whole grains and fewer refined flour...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs or 6 egg whites
1 1/4 c canola oil
1 1/2 c stevia-in-the-raw cup-for-cup sweetener
1 tsp vanilla
2 c grated unpeeled raw zucchini
2 c whole wheat flour (i use king arthur brand)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch cloves
1 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c milk (i used silk almond milk)
1/4 c orange juice (optional...don't thin batter too much)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs, oil, stevia sweetener and vanilla until light and thick. Sift together dry ingredients. Fold zucchini, then dry ingredients, into wet batter until just blended; add nuts. Pour into greased pan(s). I also cover the bottom of the pan with a strip of waxed paper to prevent bread from getting stuck. If you do a loaf pan, the recipe calls for 1 hour 15 minutes or until done. I used 3 mini loaf pans and they were baked in about 30-35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for medium-sized zucchinis that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchinis that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini: Use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating disc to grate the zucchini. Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini.
  • Use whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber to the bread. You can also use a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough bread. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: Use a 9x5 inch loaf pan to bake the bread. Grease the pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  • Let the bread cool completely: Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and hold its shape.
