Zucchini Bread on repeat. It doesn’t matter how often I bake these up, every slice always disappears in a matter of minutes. It’s loaded with zucchini and has a delightfully crispy top. It’s a great late night baking project as it’s best served the next morning. A few tips- •I prefer using organic sugars for added flavor. They goes through less processing and retain more molasses. This is especially notable with dark brown sugar. •Use a scale. It minimizes clean up and yields accurate results every time. Recipe slightly adapted from @smittenkitchen’s Ultimate Zucchini Bread who gets the job done with one bowl.
You will need: box grater, two bowls, whisk, large fork, loaf pan lined w parchment, and pref a scale.
2c/370 g grated zucchini
2 eggs (x large okay)
1/2c/100 g organic cane sugar
1/2c/95 g organic dark brown sugar
2/3 cup neutral oil, I like sunflower
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/8 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 2/3 c/210g flour
1/3c/40g whole wheat flour
3 Tbs turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Walnuts, optional and to taste
