Equipment

  • Oven
  • Loaf pans

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups freshly grated zucchini
  • 3 large farm-fresh eggs
  • 1 cup cold-pressed vegetable oil
  • 2 ¼ cups organic granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons pure vanilla essence
  • 3 cups finely sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon aromatic ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup toasted walnut pieces
  • ½ cup golden raisins

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your bread will bake evenly. Don’t forget to grease two loaf pans or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor. Once done, place the grated zucchini in a clean dish towel. Squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial; too much moisture can lead to overly wet bread.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla essence until combined. This mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  • In another bowl, mix the finely sifted all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir these dry ingredients together to dissolve any clumps.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold gently using a spatula until just combined. Over-mixing can result in a dense loaf, so be gentle!
  • Now, fold in the prepared zucchini, toasted walnut pieces, and golden raisins into the batter. They’ll add texture and flavor that you won’t want to miss.
  • Evenly distribute the batter between the two greased loaf pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a nice finish.
  • Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cooking times can vary, so it’s smart to check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go!
  • Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will make it hard to wait!

Notes

  • Freshness Matters: Always use fresh zucchini for the best flavor and moisture. Avoid zucchini that feels overly soft or has blemishes.
  • Don’t Skimp on the Spices: If you enjoy stronger flavor profiles, feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon and ginger. A touch more spice can elevate the overall taste.
  • Swap or Add Ingredients: If you like a fruity twist, toss in some diced pineapple or apple. It’s a fun surprise to have in each bite!
  • Store Properly: Store your zucchini bread in an airtight container to retain its moisture. It can last up to a week, though it usually disappears much faster!
  • Chill for Better Slicing: If you find your bread crumbling when slicing, let it cool completely in the fridge before cutting. It makes for cleaner slices.
