Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 3.4 oz. box instant pistachio pudding
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups vegetable or canola oil
2 cups grated zucchini (peeled or unpeeled)
1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and line with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry pudding mix; set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lemon color. Stir in the vanilla and oil. Last, stir in the shredded zucchini and pistachios.
  • Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined. The batter will be a weird green color, but it won't look like that after baking.
  • Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The center will most likely sink, but that's okay.
  • Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove loaves from pans and cool completely. Slice each loaf into ten slices and serve.

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 regular loaf or 3 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more melted butter, for the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup chopped toasted pistachios
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest, optional
1 cup shredded zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice

Steps:

  • For the quick bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the raisins and pistachios and toss together. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded zucchini. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular loaf and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
  • For the orange glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and orange zest and juice in a small bowl.
  • Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Cook's Note: When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
  • Try not to use dark coated baking pans; the quick bread could get too dark.
  • Most quick breads taste better if left to sit overnight.

CREAM CHEESE ZUCCHINI BREAD (LOAF AND/OR MUFFINS)



Cream Cheese Zucchini Bread (Loaf And/Or Muffins) image

This was a forgotten recipe in Private Recipes folder. I vaguely remember working on it a year or so ago! I tried it out again this morning, and it's very good if I do say so myself. I use Splenda and low fat ingredients and am posting it that way for the nutritional info, but feel free to use regular ingredients if you desire. This makes two loaves so you can eat one and give one away or freeze for later use. When I made it this morning, I made a loaf and 10 muffins. Because I was using it as a breakfast bread I left out the brown sugar to make it less sweet. For a sweeter, snack type bread, make as written. Hope you enjoy!
