We have had TONS of zucchini this year from the garden. I wanted to make a zucchini bread that had lots of zucchini in it AND I wanted to share it with my Seminary class. This recipe has a delish topping that the students LOVE and they eat it up! YAY!!
Nice, I feed them and use that zucchini up all at once!
Ingredients:
- | | 3 eggs |
- | | 1 cup canola oil or vegetable oil |
- | | 2 cups sugar |
- | | 3 cups grated zucchini |
- | | 2 teaspoons vanilla |
- | | 3 cups flour |
- | | 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (I don't use nutmeg. Just my preference) |
- | | 3 teaspoons cinnamon |
- | | 1 teaspoon baking soda |
- | | 1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
- | | 1 teaspoon salt |
| | TOPPING: |
- | | 3/4 cup brown sugar |
- | | 3/4 cup flour |
- | | 3 tablespoons butter or margarine |
- | | 2 teaspoons cinnamon |
- | | 1/2 cup chopped pecans - chopped medium fine (I don't use any nuts, again my preference)
Directions:
- Grate zucchini. If using larger zucchini, cut out any large seed sections from the middle before grating. When the 3 cups are grated, set the zucchini aside.
- Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Mix all topping ingredients together. Mix butter into other ingredients using your fingers. When mixed, set aside.
- Add eggs to a large mixing bowl and beat together until slightly foamy.
- add the oil and sugar to the beaten eggs; beat with the mixer until well blended.
- Add the grated zucchini and vanilla; stir by hand until it is well mixed into the egg and sugar mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir to mix evenly.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg and zucchini mixture; stir just until evenly mixed.
- Pour even amounts of the batter into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the top of the batter in each pan. The crumble topping provides for a thick layer over the top of the loaves. If you do not want the topping that thick, don't add all of it.
- Place the loaves into the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove loaves from the oven and allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely before storing.
Container: 4" x 8" loaf pans (I use a 5 x 9 because I don't want to loose ANY topping!) |
