Super Moist Zucchini Bread
Description
Super Moist Zucchini Bread uses a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flours combined with grated zucchini, which lends moisture and mild vegetal notes to the bread. The addition of applesauce replaces fats and keeps the crumb tender. Honey sweetens naturally, while cinnamon contributes warm spice to enhance the overall flavor. Eggs and vanilla extract provide structure and aroma. The batter is stirred together gently and baked in a loaf pan for 50 to 60 minutes at 325°F until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, resulting in a moist but structured bread.
This zucchini bread makes a suitable breakfast item, snack, or accompaniment to tea and coffee. Its moist texture makes it enjoyable slightly warmed or at room temperature. Using freshly grated zucchini with a medium or fine shred achieves the best distribution and texture.
To make handling sticky honey easier, spraying measuring cups with nonstick cooking spray before measuring can help. Store leftover bread wrapped or in an airtight container to maintain moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup zucchini about 1 medium zucchini, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan using nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a large spoon to stir together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Pour in 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup honey, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in 1 cup grated zucchini, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as you fold so that everything gets mixed in and the zucchini gets dispersed throughout the batter. Transfer to the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Spray the measuring glass with nonstick cooking spray before measuring honey to ease pouring sticky ingredients.
- Grate zucchini finely or with a medium shred using a cheese grater to incorporate evenly into the batter.
