Although I love zucchini bread, I wanted a new way to prepare it. After some thought I decided to try preparing it pumpkin bread style, since they are both in the squash family. I boiled my zucchini (skins attached) and then puréed it. It is so similar to pumpkin bread in texture and the taste...it is out of this world.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 3 medium zucchini, cut into chunks

  • 4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves

  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil

  • 4 cups white sugar

  • 6 large eggs

Directions

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

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
