" We Hate Zucchini Bread " Zucchini Bread

Submitted by Captain Naz

"I toyed around with ingredients while making Zucchini Bread, until I came up with a recipe my entire family could enjoy. I hate Zucchini Bread! But I love this bread, and when I sell it in the farmer's market, people say its the best they've ever tasted! I like to make a fair amount of it, but because of the rounded-off ingredients, this is easy to halve."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 8 small loaves
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 4 cups grated zucchini (approximately 2 medium sized zucchinis)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup fat (butter, margarine or vegetable oil, etc)
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• Optional

• 1⁄4 cup chopped walnuts

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grate the zucchini, and measure out four cups. Add to large mixing bowl.
3. Add eggs, fat, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, vanilla and sugar. Stir together well.
4. Add flour to the mixture, a bit at a time. Stir until all ingredients are mixed. The mixture should resemble thick pancake batter. If it is too thick, add another egg. Add nuts, if desired.
5. Lightly grease and flour your bread pans, or spray them with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Carefully spoon the mixture into bread pans, stopping when the mixture is about 3/4 of the way to the top.
7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a golden brown. Take out loaves, and let them cool five minutes before removing the bread from the pans to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Excellent! I definately would use an extra egg to add moisture. It was wonderful. :)

Yummy. I used whole wheat flour and a little extra baking soda. The recipe adapted well.

fabulous! i used a touch more zucchini and about 1/2 cup sugar. I also used olive oil and you could not taste it. Super good.

Very nice. I didn't in anyway thing this lacked flavor. Perhaps the I hate zucchini fooled them into thinking it would taste like chocolate cake. I was surprise that only a teaspoon of soda made it rise so nicely, but it did. I used oil because I was sure it would be the easiest to stir, and it was very easy to stir by hand. I am going to attempt to health it up a bit the next time and go half apple sauce in place of the oil. I did add a little flax seed in place of nuts.

I made this in the little foil disposable pans. I only got 7 out of the recipe. The texture is good but I think it needs more flavor.. I might try it again and add choc chips. Thanks...
