Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5-inch loaf pans; set aside.

02

Step
17 mins

Place zucchini into a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until zucchini are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain zucchini, place in a blender, and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Let purée cool for about 10 minutes.

03

Step
0 mins

Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl until well combined; stir to eliminate lumps.

04

Step
0 mins

Place zucchini purée in a large bowl. Add oil, sugar, and eggs; whisk until well combined. Beat in flour mixture to form a thick batter. Divide batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.

05

Step
55 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned and the centers spring back when gently pressed, 45 to 60 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the centers should come out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of vegetable oil. Simply melt the butter over medium heat until it browns and has a nutty aroma, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the batter.
Feel free to add chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins to the batter for added texture and flavor.
This bread freezes well! Wrap cooled loaves tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil for up to 2 months.

    Make sure to let the zucchini puree cool down a bit before adding the eggs. I didn't and they started to cook a little.

  • Shaun Cartwright

    I used brown sugar instead of white sugar and it gave it a richer flavor.

    The spice blend is perfect. Not too overpowering, just right for a cozy treat.

    Halved the sugar and it was still sweet enough for me!
