HEALTHY ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking. If you'll be toasting the nuts, line a small, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Toast the nuts: Once the oven has finished preheating, pour the chopped nuts onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are fragrant and toasted, about 5 minutes, stirring halfway.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and honey. Beat them with a whisk until they are combined. Add the eggs and beat well. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 20 seconds in the microwave.)
• Add the milk, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg, and whisk to blend. Switch to a big spoon and stir in the zucchini (be sure to squeeze excess moisture out of the zucchini first). Add the flour and stir just until combined. Some lumps are ok! Gently fold in the toasted nuts now, if using.
• Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with additional cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the center of the loaf springs back to the touch. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack. Use a serrated knife to cut individual slices.
• This bread is moist, so it will keep for just 2 to 3 days at room temperature. Store it in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months or so. I like to slice the bread before freezing and defrost individual slices, either by lightly toasting them or defrosting them in the microwave.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two 8x4'' bread pans with cook spray. I also like to line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl beat together the white sugar, brown sugar and oil. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
• Grate the entire zucchini (peel on) on the large holes of a box grater, using light pressure. If the zucchini is extra watery use a paper towel to gently squeeze some of the moisture out.
• In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
• Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
