How to Make Wheat Germ Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a medium bowl, grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the zucchini and buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
