Categories     Bread

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 3.4 oz. box instant pistachio pudding
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups vegetable or canola oil
2 cups grated zucchini (peeled or unpeeled)
1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and line with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry pudding mix; set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lemon color. Stir in the vanilla and oil. Last, stir in the shredded zucchini and pistachios.
  • Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined. The batter will be a weird green color, but it won't look like that after baking.
  • Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The center will most likely sink, but that's okay.
  • Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove loaves from pans and cool completely. Slice each loaf into ten slices and serve.

CREAM CHEESE ZUCCHINI BREAD (LOAF AND/OR MUFFINS)



Cream Cheese Zucchini Bread (Loaf And/Or Muffins) image

This was a forgotten recipe in Private Recipes folder. I vaguely remember working on it a year or so ago! I tried it out again this morning, and it's very good if I do say so myself. I use Splenda and low fat ingredients and am posting it that way for the nutritional info, but feel free to use regular ingredients if you desire. This makes two loaves so you can eat one and give one away or freeze for later use. When I made it this morning, I made a loaf and 10 muffins. Because I was using it as a breakfast bread I left out the brown sugar to make it less sweet. For a sweeter, snack type bread, make as written. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Zucchini: Select medium-sized zucchini for a tender texture and fewer seeds. Oversized zucchini might yield excess moisture.
  • Grate Zucchini Properly: Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the zucchini. This ensures even cooking and prevents the bread from becoming too dense.
  • Toast Pistachios: Toasting pistachios enhances their flavor and gives the bread a delightful nutty aroma.
  • Use Fresh Cherries: Fresh cherries provide a burst of juicy sweetness, but frozen cherries can also be used if fresh ones aren't available.
  • Cream Cheese Glaze Consistency: If the glaze is too thick, add a little milk; if it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. The glaze should be pourable but not runny.
  • Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bread while baking. Every oven is different, so check the bread a few minutes before the recommended time to ensure it doesn't overcook.

Conclusion:

Zucchini pistachio cherry quick bread is an easy-to-make treat that combines the goodness of zucchini, the nutty crunch of pistachios, and the sweetness of cherries. The cream cheese glaze adds an extra layer of lusciousness, making this bread a delightful indulgence for breakfast, tea time, or dessert.
