ZUCCHINI LEMON POPPYSEED BREAD



Zucchini Lemon Poppyseed Bread image

I wanted to try something a little different when I found several containers of poppy seeds while organizing my spice cabinet. Since it was summertime and zucchini was coming in droves, this is what I came up with. I based this off of recipe #17123, but made enough changes thought it was worth adding my own version. This would probably be delicious with a lemon glaze as well. Enjoy!!

Lemon-Poppy Seed Zucchini Muffins image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (not Greek)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup packed grated zucchini (about 1 zucchini)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemon in wide strips, being careful not to remove the white pith. Combine the lemon zest and sugar in a food processor and process until the zest is finely chopped, scraping the bowl halfway through, about 1 minute. Stir in the poppy seeds. Scoop out 3 tablespoons of the lemon-poppy seed sugar and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the remaining lemon-poppy seed sugar, the vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl; stir into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the zucchini.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Tap the bottom of the pan lightly on the counter to smooth out the batter. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the reserved lemon-poppy seed sugar. Bake until the muffins are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini is essential for making this bread moist and flavorful. If you can, try to use zucchini that has been recently picked.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: Finely grating the zucchini will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Zucchini lemon poppy seed bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's also a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden. With its moist texture, zesty lemon flavor, and crunchy poppy seeds, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
