What is your favorite zucchini bread recipe? [recipe included in post]

[Guest guest]

I have tried a few different zucchini bread recipes

over the summers when I had an abundance of zucchs.

My mother hated the stuff [zucchini bread] and used

to throw the loaves my Grams made her out the car

window on the drive home. Isn't that aweful!? *lol*

I love zucchini bread, but know better than to ever

bake it for my mom when she visits because I know

what she'd do with it! Maybe it was my Grams' recipe.

I know she made it very basic.

A few summers ago I baked several recipes and had

my family [not my mom] taste them all to tell me which

they liked best.

This recipe got the " yay " votes:

 

Sweet Zucchini-Spice Bread

 

2 cups grated zucchini

1/2 cup honey

6 Tbs, melted butter

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp. salt

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. allspice

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ginger

 

Place grated zucchini in a colander to drain for a few minutes, and then squeeze

out as

much moisture as you can with your hands; this helps the batter to not be too

moist.

Beat the honey with an electric mixer until it is whipped and turns light yellow

and not

clear anymore. Add in the butter, eggs and vanilla and stir in to combine well.

Sift together all the dry ingredients including the spices.

Add some of the dry ingredients to the honey mixture, then some of the zucchini,

stirring

well ~ but gently~ between each addition until all is combined.

Pour batter into a greased bread loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45

minutes.

I think it was the complex, yet subtle flavors of the

allspice and ginger that are in this recipe that make this

zucchini bread stand apart from others I have made.

Sounds good. Now does this make one

loaf of bread or more than one?

Thanks.
