How to Make We Hate Zucchini Bread Zucchini Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grate four cups of zucchini using a box grater.
- Add the grated zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter), 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar to the bowl.
- Stir all wet ingredients together until well combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- The batter should be thick, similar to pancake batter. If it's too thick, add another egg.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Lightly grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Carefully pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about ¾ full.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
