ObiEasy To Follow Zucchini Bread Recipe
Zucchini bread is a popular and delicious type of quick bread made with grated zucchini. It’s a versatile recipe that can be sweet or savory, though the sweet version is more common. The bread is usually moist and flavorful, thanks to the zucchini, and often includes ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, and even chocolate chips for added taste and texture.
If you’ve never tried zucchini bread, you’re seriously missing out on one of the best homemade treats. It’s the kind of recipe that surprises you. At first, you might wonder how zucchini fits into something sweet, but once you take a bite, it all makes sense. The shredded zucchini melts into the batter, giving the bread a soft, moist texture without any strong veggie flavor. In fact, most people can’t even tell it’s in there.
This bread is warm, lightly spiced, and just sweet enough. You get hints of cinnamon, a touch of vanilla, and a buttery, cake-like crumb that’s hard to resist. It’s perfect with a morning coffee, or as a cozy afternoon snack. You can even toast a slice and spread a little butter on top, I can tell you it’s pure joy.
In this quick guided recipe, I’m going to share with you how I make my moist tasty zucchini bread for my family. In very simple steps in the below recipe.
Zucchini Bread Recipe
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan (or line with parchment paper for easier removal).
- Grate 2 cups of zucchini and set it aside. If the zucchini seems excessively moist, gently squeeze out some of the liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
- Fold the grated zucchini into the batter. If you're adding nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, fold them in as well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious zucchini bread!
