Zucchini Bread Moist

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add zucchini: Stir grated zucchini into wet ingredients. Lightly press with paper towels if very watery, but don’t remove all moisture.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  6. Add mix-ins: Fold in nuts and/or raisins/chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan, bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs).
  8. Cool: Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Cooking Notes and Tips

  • Zucchini Prep: No need to peel! Just wash and grate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use whole wheat flour?

Yes, substitute up to half with whole wheat flour. Using all whole wheat may make it denser.

How do I know when it’s done?

Insert a toothpick. If it comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), it’s done. Avoid overbaking!

Can I freeze zucchini bread?

Yes! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It will keep for up to 3 months.

Do I need to remove the seeds?

Only if your zucchini is large and has big seeds.
