And now, possibly the best thing I have ever made in my life...drum roll...ZUCCHINI BREAD. I've had zucchini read before, I was so surprised when I found out it wasn't the nasty vegetable bread I had thought it would be. This stuff was delicious. It's almost like banana bread. I should probably make some homemade banana bread. But anyway, I think it's the lemon zest that gives this bread that extra oomph. The raspberries are kind of bitter but I keep them because they are a good source of fiber. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a quick snack. I would make this all the time if I could.
"It's a simple zucchini nut bread with a splash of red raspberries for flavor."
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup fresh raspberries ( I used frozen and fresh its all the same)
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Combine flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Mix sugar, egg, zucchini, vegetable oil, and lemon peel in a separate bowl, then stir in to the flour mixture. Gently fold in the walnuts and raspberries. Pour batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
