Zucchini Bread, Pumpkin Style

Servings:

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.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5-inch loaf pans; set aside.
  2. 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. 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. 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. 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.
