This Zucchini bread is so delicious. Warm it up and add a good slather of butter on top letting it melt into all its nooks and crannies. With zucchini being so versatile, we love to add chocolate chips and extra cinnamon for more flavor. Zucchini makes a tasty companion for a stir fry and an even better combo for dessert. It some how makes me feel less guilty since vegetables are healthy am I right? If you have a garden you have probably run into the issue of too many zucchinis to know what to do with. Zucchini bread can solve that problem. Make a whole bunch of loaves to share with your family and friends, I'm sure they wont object.
TIPS AND TRICKS
- line your baking dish with parchment paper. I have made the mistake of not doing this in the past, and lets just say the loaf did not look like a loaf once I scraped it out of the pan.
- Make sure (with any baking) that your baking powder is not expired and was in a well sealed container. If you are finding your baked goods aren't rising to your satisfaction, this could be that your baking powder is old or gone bad.
- Eat it fresh out of the oven. I love how the edges are crispy when first removed from the oven. Instead of microwaving it to warm up a slice later. Try throwing a slice in your toaster oven.
- Give it a try as French toast. YUMMY is all I can say.
- If you made an abundance of loaves, wrap them up and seal in a freezer bag and save them for later in your freezer.
- Do not remove any of the extra liquid from your Zucchi, Just toss it in as is after shredding.
