I used thawed frozen zucchini shreds, drained out some of the liquid, and the resulting loaf took forever to cook and still had some unbaked soggy bottom parts (which my son still loved, but I didnt). It is a scootch sweet for my taste as a breakfast bread, but with a little whipped cream it is the perfect dessert. I had some lavender buds just dried from our garden so I eliminated the spices and added some crushed buds and lemon zest I took a suggestion from a Bon Appetit recipe and put the lemon zest and lavender buds with the sugar into the food processor first. To my taste the muffins were a bit too sweet, but that was with the chocolate chips which add sugar. Quick and easy bread! I dislike nutmeg so I use ground ginger instead, then sprinkle in a little dried orange peel and sub some ground almonds for a bit of the flour. From my own experience I tend to do half all purpose and roughly half whole wheatand I substitute 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour for every 1 cup all purpose flour. I let them cool and tried two slices. I might use less maybe 1 1/3 packed cups to start? Bake for about 50 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the bread comes out with a little crumb on it but not wet. It would add more dimension to this bread. Ok lets be realits a pandemicIve baked a million different types of breads. I dont know how best to store this to avoid that happening, but maybe there is a technique I dont know? Thanks as always, Deb! We still had some leftover today though and I have to say it truly is better, the top has a lovely sweet crunch and the flavors are bursting in every moist bite. YAAASSS! No one needs an extra bowl to wash. Pretty in a ring! I wish I were so clever. This recipe is a keeper! This recipe is infinitely adaptable and I sometimes add nuts/chocolate chips and vary the spices. Can you freeze half of this? 8.5 x 4.5 should be fine too. Also, how long would you bake for muffins? Ive made this twice now. One bowl and a fork is all you need to prepare this which is much appreciated. I definitely wouldnt want either batch to be sweeter! Preheat oven to 350F and line a 84 medium loaf pan with parchment paper; set aside. turned out beautifully! Privacy Policy. me too! Thank you so much!!! Somewhere along my process, I forgot the oil. Ill definitely be doing this again. I just made this at 350 in my Pyrex glass bread pan and it came out perfect!! It is incredibly moist with just the right amount of sweetness. I will be freezing these. Love this as a one-bowl recipe lacking the need to wring out the shredded zucchini! Or do they have different cooking properties, as well? Glad to add another recipe to my list. Add the oil, sugar, and vanilla and whisk thoroughly to combine. Im excited to make it again. Ive also found the weights and measure of the zucchini to vary widely. it ended up being about a 1/2 cup of apple sauce. My cups of flour weigh in at 130 grams. I have made this and followed all your directions and it was delish. It didnt even need the salted butter on top but it certainly didnt hurt. very tasty. Genius recipe really. I have made this twice. I was impressed. Good with cheese! The old zucchini bread is my go-to recipe and its much loved, but I made the Ultimate Zucchini Bread recipe and it is lovely. Nice and moist without being overly dense and had a crispy top. Cant we decide for our own selves when the time is right to scale it up to two? I want a tall, craggy, crunchy top that I have to swat hands away at.and you gave it to me! I am glad youre enjoying the recipe! Really fantasic and proclaimed the best zucchini bread my audience has tasted. I will wait til tomorrow to have a muffin. Thanks! I suppose, technically, half of the zucchini bread I made today will rest 24 hours Its hard for me to believe the flavor benefits of next-day zucchini bread outweigh those of still warm, freshly-baked zucchini bread, but Id love to hear your perspective on it. Would it be ok to use this recipe for a more mature zuke without draining the shreds? Thank you! I have so far and am wondering if it is necessary or typical to do so. Heavenly! I love how you describe the process. I made this in the 84-ish glass pyrex loaf pans, since theyre all I have. I filled the muffins tins all the way to the top and cooked at about 375 degrees. Thank you Deb! The only effort required was grating the courgette; easiest recipe Ive ever made. I took a tip from a prior poster and have a banana/zucchini mix in the oven. Thank you for everything you do!! Ill try to wait. I dont find it here. Directions. I am going to make it again! Super easy to make (8 mo pregnant and not able to handle complicated recipes right now). Its been 12 hours since I took mine out of the oven; it is taking every ounce of willpower I have to wait to slice and try! Ive never made zucchini bread before and I just so happened to have some extra zucchini from my weekly produce box when this was posted. Thanks! I Debs pumpkin bread recipe, that makes one large, lidded loaf! So good. Grammar correction: my sous-chefs and ME.. Check in the middle but also check again near the top. I just made EIGHT!!! Just curious. Both delicious! They needed about 30 mins in the oven and came out great. I used olive oil. Followed your recipe to the tee. So pleased with how they turned out! I primarily made it into a loaf but tested some of the batter into muffins. Was your photographer in my kitchen? Any suggestions? Add one egg white, add an extra tbsp of oil, subtract 1 1/2 tsp of each sugar, reduce baking soda by 1/8 tsp, reduce baking powder by 1/8 tsp, add 2 tbsp of extra flour, increase baking temp by 25 degrees (to 375), and bake for around 45-50 minutes. But I do leave it in the pan; this is all the protection it needs. OK two thumbs up for this! Came together so easily (heres to one bowl recipes!) Its delicious. I dont want cloying bread. Unless you were trying to be funny? Thank you. Aloha! Very difficult. Use the large, not small, holes of a box grater to shred the zucchini. I love love love your recipes, follow you on Instagram, etc. Deb, this is a wonderful recipe. . Well, shoot. Its less sweet that your recipe, perfect for adults who want to drink sweet tea, a cola, or sweet iced coffee with it. My mother-in-law gave me a very large zucchini, and my husband loved the first loaf so much that I made a second one tonight. It was all but forgotten during the very busy days of working on emptying my moms house for sale, and eating lots of carryout. Our Costco does not make them after October. Thank you!!! Ive made this dozens of times now, and it gets great compliments! I will go with this one from now on. I stirred it not with a fork but one of those bread dough stirrer things (aka Danish dough whisk), which works a treat. I had to make honey butter to put on them to add some more sweetness. I am a fan of all the traditional quick breads, i.e. Super easy to throw together, held up well for days, and gave me a new creative way to use up my MILs extra yellow squash from her garden. I also wanted to put it out there that I used white spelt flour instead. It is easy, quick, and deliciousone bowl, no mixer. Definitely will keep this recipe in my back pocket for summertime! Thank you. Looks like it took other people about 22 minutes but Id always check sooner to be safe. How did this have flavor that wasnt just, well.. sweet? Did you bake them at the same time? Cant wait to taste! I made this recipe with half of the sugar and stirred in walnut pieces and cacao chips at the very end. What would be the best way to do this? This recipe is a keeper! I do this with banana bread regularly and then wrap individually and freeze the extra loaves to enjoy another morning. The aroma coming out of the oven was intoxicating! In a crazy turn of events, I may go back to the market for some more zukes, if only to make this bread again. Its torture Deb please respond! @Elisabethwarcher & @SaraB1313 So.this is sitting on a cooling rack on my counter. Thanks Deb! This is my new go-to. Will this work in a glass loaf pan or is aluminum preferred? I made this and it turned out great. Great the second day BUT, a warm slice fresh from the oven was delicious, too. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. I didnt have the raw sugar on hand so no delicious crunchy top for me, but it turned out absolutely AMAZING. A big improvement. I added fresh blueberries and baked it in my Pampered Chef (4) mini loaf pan. Directions. But absolutely delicious! Ive always had luck with a mixture of oil/applesauce/mashed bananas to replace the oil in my recipe, so I might try that here next time. Thanks, Deb! Love it! Commenting so everyone can benefit- made a spread of cream cheese mixed with lemon zest, lemon juice, ground ginger, and powdered sugar and it was divine on this! Instructions. It smells wonderful, but it is very spongy. No wonder it looks a little short, rather than it usual glorious crowning magnificence! Thank you!! The texture and the flavor is so, so good. August 2, 2019 by deb Jump to recipe, comments. The texture looks perfect and I want to do my best to recreate it. Nancy did you up the leavening? Always hapoy with the tesults Im here to report that this is an extra-good recipe. I managed to protect it in the pan over night, but once I made the first cut at breakfast my teenagers polished off the rest of the loaf within 2 hours. Used refined coconut oil (melted) for the oil. It was good but not what I expected. Sooo goodit is the ultimate one that Ive made.especially needed as it is a way to try to keep up with my sprouting zucchini plants. The only problem was that they didnt turn out crisp on top perhaps the shorter cook time prevented the moisture from evaporating. For some reason, where the top lifted up, it took a long time to cook fully underneath. Smart. Do I really have to?? I loved it and will continue to make it. Do you think it would be ok to add chocolate chips to the batter? Can you make this in muffin tins? made half of it muffins and the other half in a loaf pan Id check them at 18 to 20 minutes, then 25 if theyre not done yet. This one was fun to make but really was so sweet at the end I know she says its a larger than usual loaf, but for me at least this one really tasted like it had a lot of sugar in it, too. I only waited 22 hours.This is really the Ultimate Zucchini Bread! If desired, line with parchment. Made this yesterday and it is hands down the BEST ever !! Loved it! It didnt last very long. No. I loved the crunchy top, the bread is very tender for a quick bread. Doing it fir a favor for his brother. Bake at 350F for 1 hour or until bread tests done. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease mini muffin pan or use liners (I use softened butter on a paper towel). The weight of this cooked piece? Yes! It turned out perfectly with very few dishes and the babe stayed asleep until it was well into baking time. https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/08/ultimate-zucchini-bread/#comment-1590326. Thanks again, Works really good with summer squash (the yellow kind), too!! Like others I search each year for the one recipe for zucchini bread. Thank you Deb for making it a one bowl recipe and truly a quick bread! At 350, they also took about 65 minutes, so a bit longer. It came out great. This recipe looks awesome and I cant wait to make it. I made this yesterday and per Debs previous comment, I added 1.5 cups of blueberries (tossed with one tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8x4 inch baking pan with parchment paper and/or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Its a perfect, delicious recipe and I cant thank you enough. The correction is not meant as a negative comment, just a correction. Sorry, theres no contest when choosing bread vs fritters! DELICIOUS just make sure you bake it long enough. But even with modifications, it was the best zucchini bread we ever had. This might be one of the most delicious things Ive ever made!!!! Zucchini thoughts: I have a nearly identical recipe I acquired from a professional family cook in the 80s- its delightful, just as your looks. So easy to throw together, leave on the stove overnight, and enjoy the next day. Will def make again. bake them a day ahead (such a nice bonus if traveling with them); they keep well (uncovered) and the tops stay crisp. Discussion of this great recipe should be the focus, not a reader making editorial comments. Definitely delicious! It looks delicious. My zucchini bread took FOREVER to bake, and I still ended up with what seemed like uncooked areas, primarily on the bottom of the loaf. It is, as advertised, the ultimate zucchini bread. 1 / 6. I had one shabby piece left over the next morning (I shared with a book group). Great recipe! Add oil and vanilla; beat until combined. I love that its sweet enough but not overly sweet, is so quick to put together without fuss or special equipment you only need 1 bowl, 1 spoon, 1 grater. Oh well. I made 2 batches of this today with zucchinis from my sister. I love reading your comments as much as I love trying your recipes. The first time was nirvana and the next four underbaked, even in for 1 hr 20 minutes! Made this last night and left it uncovered on the counter, as instructed. How would you adapt the recipe (temperature, cooking time, etc)? Thanks Deb for the inspiration and no-nonsense approach. for the ultimate zucchini bread- how much can be added? Hands down, the best zucchini bread recipe Ive ever tried.and Ive made a LOT of zucchini bread in my day! Thank you! Any reason I s/chouldnt add walnuts? It is fantastic, and a great thing to get us through lunch time at our jobs! Amazing, fast, delicious and so easy! This is the best quickest zucchini bread ever. I think it was because I used 2 cups of thawed frozen shredded zucchini and didnt drain enough of the water out of it. I added walnuts and my husband and I adored it. Hi! I adore this recipe. Any thoughts on substituting honey instead of sugar? Cant wait for breakfast tomorrow to try it! In large bowl whisk together eggs, oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Third, I literally left this on my counter in the loaf pan. Its a very dense loaf and rather moist. Thanks Deb! Extremely delicious and easy to make. around 20-22 min. Its 110 degrees outside, but for a crunchy top Im willing to turn on the oven. Still enjoyable with a cup of coffee. Hi! :D. I made this bread twice. Mine is in the oven right now and smells amazing. Ill never make another zucchini bread recipe! Good thing I have a couple more zucchini ready in the garden so I can try this recipe and compare! Thank you for finally bringing zucchini into my quick bread rotation!!! My question is: isnt a couple hours enough to completely cool? A full pound of zucchini goes into these lemon-y muffins, perfect for using up that summer bumper crop. Highly recommend. Still yummy but I am curious of your outcome! P.s. I love this recipe and make it multiple times/summer. I did half whole wheat, half white flour, plus some flax. Add flour and mix until just combined. Also, I know youre keeping it pure and simple, Deb, but I missed having my usual rubbly texture of chopped walnuts. I made this two days ago with half grated yellow zucchini and half grated apple, since Im awash in both these days. Im seriously interested in using carrots, having successfully made this with zucchini several times. I made this as is (with unsalted butter as my oil) and added three quarters of a cup of dark chocolate chips. Thanks! Its in the oven.
