PREPARATION TIME
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Cool Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
3 cups Shredded zucchini (about 2 medium) ($1.78)
3 cups All-purpose flour ($0.39)
1 teaspoon Baking powder ($0.05)
1 teaspoon Baking soda ($0.01)
1 teaspoon Salt ($0.01)
3 teaspoons Ground cinnamon ($0.24)
3 large Eggs ($0.45)
1 cup Vegetable oil ($0.70)
3 teaspoons Vanilla extract ($0.09)
½ cup Granulated sugar ($0.18)
1 cup Brown sugar ($0.44)
Instructions
Grease 5 mini loaf pans and set the oven to 325 degrees F to preheat.
Grate your washed zucchini and set it on a paper towel to help absorb some of the excess moisture. Let rest while you prepare batter.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugars.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until well combined. The batter will be very thick.
Stir in the zucchini and then divide into the 5 loaf pans.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.
Let cool for about 20 minutes in the pans before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
You can adjust the zucchini amount to 4 cups if needed, but make an extra mini loaf and monitor baking time closely. Shredding the zucchini finely ensures it’s unnoticeable in the bread, and the green specks add a nice touch.
Zucchini releases moisture when baked, so undercooked loaves may sink in the middle. Use a toothpick to check doneness and extend baking time if needed.
Store the mini loaves in the freezer by wrapping them well and placing them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter before enjoying. When stored in an airtight container, zucchini bread can last up to 5 days at room temperature.
