How to Make Sour Cream Zucchini Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or four mini loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ (optional), 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold in 2 cups shredded zucchini, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional), and 1/2 cup raisins (optional).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes for standard loaves, or 50-60 minutes for mini loaves. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), the bread is done.
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
