Very tasty pumpkin spice bread. I did use pecans instead of the walnuts. It was very good.
WHOA. This is amazing. I cut sugar in half, subbed Greek yogurt for half the butter, used 1c white flour, 1c almond flour, and 1c oatmeal flour (Oates blended in blender), used dark chocolate chips instead of nuts, and upped cinnamon by 1/2 tsp. My altered version didn’t dome as high as in the pic, but the texture is still awesome and the taste is incredible! This will become a staple in my kitchen. Great use for zucchini and extra pumpkin!
For Jessika: Bob's Red Mill makes a 1:1 gluten free flour (in other words, you use 1 cup GF flour for 1 cup Wheat flour). There are other recipes for making your own GF flour, here is a link to one: https://minimalistbaker.com/diy-gluten-free-flour-blend/ Good luck!
Can someone please tell me how to make this recipe gluten free?
I followed the comments and used 2 cups zucchini, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 2 tsp of cinnamon. I baked 24 mini muffins with chocolate chips for 15 min and two smaller loaf pans with walnuts for 37 min.
Excellent! I exchanged half cup unsweetened applesauce for half the butter. Otherwise followed the recipe.
With all the butter how can it not be 5 stars? I made the recipe with brown sugar rather than white (only because I was out) and cinnamon only for the spices. My husband loved how strong the vanilla flavor was, the bread was a prefect, it only lasted 2 days in our house!
I have learned to drain and squeeze dry the zucchini for these type of recipes. This bread was wonderful and not so heavy and dense as most zucchini bread recipes after I squeezed it dry. Very, very tasty. I don't like cloves though so I halved the amount.
Absolutely amazing!!, .....so moist, and yummy, my family adored this and couldn't wait for me to make it again. My brother is in from New York and wants me to make this , then he gets to go back with a whole loaf for himself!! ...... we all love it, ...thank you all soooo much.
This bread recipe has the perfect fall harvest taste. It's very moist and delectable. It's the perfect addition to any holiday meal.
