Best Zucchini Bread? YES!!! I enjoy banana bread, apple cinnamon bread and even butternut squash cake, but zucchini bread, but it isn’t something I necessarily crave or even get really excited about. Until now.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups zucchini finely grated
- molasses butter
Instruction
- Grease two 8×4 inch bread pans and preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Sift or whisk together flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder and baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, beat applesauce, vanilla, sugar and brown sugar together.
- Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating between each addition.
- Add dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overbeat. Fold in finely grated zucchini.
- Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bread is light brown and passes the toothpick test. Times will vary greatly depending on how much batter you put in each pan. Use a kitchen scale to get them equal. If not, one may be complete before the other.
- Cool in pan on a rack for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
- Serve with molasses butter.
