Zucchini Bread

Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray 1 large zucchini 1 cup packed light-brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and set aside. Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater (to yield 1 3/4 cups); set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, oil, vanilla, and eggs.

Into a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, and stir to combine well. Stir in grated zucchini.

Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack, then reinvert, top side up. Cool completely before slicing.

Cook’s Notes If you plan to bake this bread in a smaller loaf pan, be sure to fill it no more than three-quarters full to prevent the batter from overflowing in the oven.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/28/2018   I followed the written recipe, not the video, and this bread turned out amazing! It made my house smell so good for the holidays. I split the batter into 4 mini loaf pans instead of one large loaf so that I could give them as gifts. I also added one extra TBS of granulated sugar because I thought it wasn't quite sweet enough on its own. I only had to bake them for 30-35 minutes instead of 45 - 55. This is my new favorite bread. It is really quick and easy to make. I give it 5 stars! Thanks for sharing!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       05/16/2018   In video she says 3/4 cup oil but in written recipe it calls for 2/3 cup oil........quite a bit of difference, can this be corrected please, no need to go to trouble making the bread if it isn't going to be perfect! Thank you.....  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/05/2017   How much zucchini by weight?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/05/2016   Made this recipe today and it turned out amazing. It is so moist and delicious. I would definitely make this again!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/15/2016   Wondering can you use butter in stead of oil and would it be the same amount?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/22/2016   The bread was good. And to get my boyfriend to eat veggies this is a sneaky way I can do it. I loved the spice to the bread and how moist it was. The only change in made is I added raisins to it and I did not have any ginger at the time so still making it it turn out very good, so now that I do it the same way all the time.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/11/2015   I have made this recipe many times and people always ask for the recipe! You can't even taste the zucchini and it is so buttery and rich!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/23/2015   I made this but used apple sauce and coconut oil instead of the vegetable oil. I also added some caramel crunchy things on top. Super delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/19/2014   Forgot to mention: to make this recipe into muffins, I adjusted the baking time to about 25 minutes.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/17/2014   I made these into muffins (used a standard 12 muffin pan). Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly... and they turned out great!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2014   Instead of brown and granulated sugar can I substitute with honey and/or apple sauce in making quick breads? Will the dough still rise? I try to stay away from cane sugar as much as possible. Thanks  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2014   Has anyone tried this recipe using a non-wheat flour? What worked (or didn't) for you?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2014   Large zucchini means what. Shouldn't you use how many cups? I have had zucchini up to 16 or so inches. That would be way too much for that amount of flour.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/14/2014   Fabulous recipe and easy to make. Planned to take the zucchini bread on a weekend away. Cooled it, wrapped it up and put it in a Ziplock bag just as a previous reviewer suggested. It turned out delicious! Will definitely make again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/11/2014   This recipe is wonderful!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/23/2013   My family loves this bread! I personally like that you can really taste the sweetness of the brown sugar and just the right dose of it. My older son doesn't like zucchini much, or veggies, for that matter. So, this is a good way to get him to eat veggies - whatever works and being tasty is a definite plus.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/27/2013   This recipe is awesome! It's best if you cool it and place it in a ziplock bag overnight and slice the following day! Super moist!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/11/2013   This turned out very well. I am trying not to use vegetable oil these days so I substituted it with coconut oil which was great! I recommend this recipe for sure.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/01/2013   I have modified this recipe to make it healthier. I use only 1/2 cup of brown sugar. 1/4 cup of oil plus 1/3 unsweetened applesauce. I use 3/4 cup of flour and add 1/4 cup ground flax seed meal. I increased the spices but that is a personal taste. Bake as directed. I find that using a 9 by 3 pan only takes 45 minutes. I store the cooled cake in the refrigerator and it stays moist and delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2013   I will never use another recipe again! Moist and delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Easy recipe; my five year old daughter enjoyed helping me bake it and enjoyed eating it even more!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/17/2012   I made this over the weekend for some friends: we all loved it! It was so yummy! We especially loved the flavour of the spices. The bread is quite moist, so I'd deffo suggest using a very fresh courgette/zucchini (as over-ripe ones get quite watery). We sliced the bread and put it under the broiler/oven grill just to toast it up a bit -- and served with butter!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2012   Please... Who are these people who keep pointing out that this is a dessert, and NOT a vegetable dish? Really?...

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/21/2011   Also, I made this with many variations, so I think it's foolproof! I'm visiting Turkey, and they don't have brown sugar here, so I just used half a cup of white. I had no vanilla on hand, so I added some lemon zest. I cut down on the oil a bit, and because I didn't have a loaf pan, I baked mine in a small casserole dish for about 25 minutes, and it was perfect! Also, I've noticed people commenting that they used Bisquix for a fluffier loaf. Instead of that, I just upped my baking powder to 1tspn  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/20/2011   Please people, please! It's been noted before, but I'll repeat: this is a TREAT! Just because there is a vegetable in the contents, does not mean you can pat yourselves on the back for eating your greens! Check out the carbs, fat and sugar, and remember, this is a sweet indulgence, not your daily serving of fresh veg!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/30/2011   Love this recipe! My family loved it so much that another loaf was quickly made while we were devouring the first! I used all whole wheat flour, all coconut oil, and half the sugar ratio ~ turned out wonderfully moist and full of spiced flavor. Especially good with cream cheese spread on top of slices!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/31/2011   Wow! So delicious and moist and the spices are perfect. I used coconut oil instead of veg oil and substituted 1/2 cup of whole wheat cake and pastry flour for 1/2 of the a.p. I have also added about 1/2 a cup of walnuts which was great.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2011   I also used applesauce instead of oil, added 1/2 cup walnuts, and raisins. It was a winner today at my house.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2011   Delicious and oh so moist! The spice flavors are "deep" reminded me of my grandmas when I was little. Will definitely make again and again.:)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/05/2011   Delicious! But keep an eye on the zucchini--as pp noted, one "large" zucchini can easily yield 3+ cups. So grate 1.75 cups as indicated in the recipe so bread isn't overly moist.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/30/2011   Perfect way to use overgrown zucchini. One LARGE zucchini made 2 loaves. A vegetable dish that the whole family loves!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/13/2011   Under directions....#1. 1 large zucchini yields approx. 1 3/4 cups.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/29/2011   I made several of these breads in the mini size to give as holiday gifts....it is a wonderful bread and the spices add great flavor. I also used canola oil instead of the veggie oil. I still have one more in the freezer to enjoy with my coffee some morning soon.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/14/2010   This is a great way to use up extra summer squash, especially the big ones that friends bring you! I used a little extra zucchini and replaced the oil with applesauce and it was delicious! Whole family loved it and is asking for it for the holidays already. Nice, easy recipe!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/17/2010   Please be more accurate in measurements with your recipes. 1 large zucchini does not give any specific amount and is subjective to the persons's eye.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/05/2010   Patti asked about an oil substitute: applesauce works great! Your breads and muffins will be very moist, and might take a few minutes longer to cook, but I actually think they taste better and have a nicer texture than using the oil. A friend has always used Splenda in place of the sugar, and she says it works fine.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/23/2010   Betsy, That's why we put a crouton on our sundae. It makes it a salad..... LOL  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/30/2010   Can you use frozen shredded zuchinni? I have so much of it in my freezer.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/08/2009   Delicious! I used four smallish zucchinis and added 1/2 cup raisins.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/07/2009   Tasty- yes. But, please, people...don't kid yourself. Eating 1/12th of a large zucchini is not really sneaking any significant amount of veggies into anyone's diet. And the sugar and fat, offset any minor benefit of that little bite of zucchini. I'm not saying this bread is a bad thing- but don't fool yourself- it's essentially a dessert when it includes a cup of sugar.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/07/2009   Yummie- i add 1/2 c of walnuts (chopped), I have been making this for a year and my son who is now 5 cant get enough of this bread.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/23/2008   Does anyone have the nutritional info on this recipe? It's generally located in the back of the magazine. My son has Diabetes and we need the carb counts for his meals. This is a great snack (veggies) for kids. Since I liked the recope, I tore it from the mag (to save space). Much thanks!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/08/2008   I've made this several times and add mini chocolate chips. It's a great recipe.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/29/2008   Made it, loved it! I think it would be delish with some cream cheese frosting too...mmmmmm.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/27/2008   I've made this twice now, first time I used way too much zucchini and it was too moist. This time I kept the zucchini content at approximately 2 cups, and it came out perfect!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/19/2008   Try substituting apple sauce for the oil. Keeps the moisture you need without the fat and calories!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/19/2008   I'm munching on a piece of this delicious loaf as I type, still warm, with just a touch of butter (well, lactose free margarine!)......first time making this one, delighted with the smooth texture  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/19/2008   I tried it again, this time I added 1 medium sized grated carrot. I think it made it sweeter and added some color too. A truly easy bread to make. I wish there was a substitute for using so much oil though! This seems unhealthy.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/15/2008   This is a great recipe - easy to make and very popular in my house! To giddygirl30... the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups shredded zucchini. Enjoy :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/08/2008   what is a Large zucchini? I have big and then I have bigger! is there an estimated amount??  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/30/2008   I make this recipe all the time! It is perfect and great to make now with all the fresh zucchinis in the garden  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/30/2008   This bread turns out moist, springy and delicious. Instead of cloves I used allspice. I added 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of raisins (didn't adjust the sugars), and it was very good!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/12/2008   I have been making this bread every summer since it made an apperance in the Everyday Foods Mag. I love it! i cut the sugar by a third and add dark chocolate chips to the recipe. TDF!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/10/2008   Very easy to follow. I added chocolate chips and chopped pecans/nuts for added flavour. And a dash of All-Spice. Thank goodness I did as I found it to be pretty plain overall for my tough tasters at home! I also added some chocolate chips and nuts to the top before cooking for a nicer appearance. Great way to sneak in zucchini into your diet. A great bread.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/03/2008   The best recipe for Zucchini Bread I have ever tried. The recipe was super easy to follow, and comes out delicious every time I've made it, which is about 20 times since November. I made small breads and gave them away as holiday gifts to friends and family, and only received praise from the recipients. I added chopped pecans and the recipe was still delicious. The bread is a great way to get vegetables into my young nieces and nephews!

Delicious! But keep an eye on the zucchini–as pp noted, one “large” zucchini can easily yield 3+ cups. So grate 1.75 cups as indicated in the recipe so bread isn’t overly moist.

Perfect way to use overgrown zucchini. One LARGE zucchini made 2 loaves. A vegetable dish that the whole family loves!

Under directions….#1. 1 large zucchini yields approx. 1 3/4 cups.

I made several of these breads in the mini size to give as holiday gifts….it is a wonderful bread and the spices add great flavor. I also used canola oil instead of the veggie oil. I still have one more in the freezer to enjoy with my coffee some morning soon.

This is a great way to use up extra summer squash, especially the big ones that friends bring you! I used a little extra zucchini and replaced the oil with applesauce and it was delicious! Whole family loved it and is asking for it for the holidays already. Nice, easy recipe!

Please be more accurate in measurements with your recipes. 1 large zucchini does not give any specific amount and is subjective to the persons’s eye.

Patti asked about an oil substitute: applesauce works great! Your breads and muffins will be very moist, and might take a few minutes longer to cook, but I actually think they taste better and have a nicer texture than using the oil. A friend has always used Splenda in place of the sugar, and she says it works fine.

Betsy, That’s why we put a crouton on our sundae. It makes it a salad….. LOL

Can you use frozen shredded zuchinni? I have so much of it in my freezer.

Delicious! I used four smallish zucchinis and added 1/2 cup raisins.

Tasty- yes. But, please, people…don’t kid yourself. Eating 1/12th of a large zucchini is not really sneaking any significant amount of veggies into anyone’s diet. And the sugar and fat, offset any minor benefit of that little bite of zucchini. I’m not saying this bread is a bad thing- but don’t fool yourself- it’s essentially a dessert when it includes a cup of sugar.

Yummie- i add 1/2 c of walnuts (chopped), I have been making this for a year and my son who is now 5 cant get enough of this bread.

Does anyone have the nutritional info on this recipe? It’s generally located in the back of the magazine. My son has Diabetes and we need the carb counts for his meals. This is a great snack (veggies) for kids. Since I liked the recope, I tore it from the mag (to save space). Much thanks!

I’ve made this twice now, first time I used way too much zucchini and it was too moist. This time I kept the zucchini content at approximately 2 cups, and it came out perfect!

Try substituting apple sauce for the oil. Keeps the moisture you need without the fat and calories!

I’m munching on a piece of this delicious loaf as I type, still warm, with just a touch of butter (well, lactose free margarine!)……first time making this one, delighted with the smooth texture

I tried it again, this time I added 1 medium sized grated carrot. I think it made it sweeter and added some color too. A truly easy bread to make. I wish there was a substitute for using so much oil though! This seems unhealthy.

This is a great recipe - easy to make and very popular in my house! To giddygirl30… the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups shredded zucchini. Enjoy :)

what is a Large zucchini? I have big and then I have bigger! is there an estimated amount??

Rating: Unrated 07/30/2008

I make this recipe all the time! It is perfect and great to make now with all the fresh zucchinis in the garden

This bread turns out moist, springy and delicious. Instead of cloves I used allspice. I added 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of raisins (didn’t adjust the sugars), and it was very good!

I have been making this bread every summer since it made an apperance in the Everyday Foods Mag. I love it! i cut the sugar by a third and add dark chocolate chips to the recipe. TDF!

Rating: Unrated 06/10/2008

Very easy to follow. I added chocolate chips and chopped pecans/nuts for added flavour. And a dash of All-Spice. Thank goodness I did as I found it to be pretty plain overall for my tough tasters at home! I also added some chocolate chips and nuts to the top before cooking for a nicer appearance. Great way to sneak in zucchini into your diet. A great bread.

The best recipe for Zucchini Bread I have ever tried. The recipe was super easy to follow, and comes out delicious every time I’ve made it, which is about 20 times since November. I made small breads and gave them away as holiday gifts to friends and family, and only received praise from the recipients. I added chopped pecans and the recipe was still delicious. The bread is a great way to get vegetables into my young nieces and nephews!
