Bread Machine Zucchini Bread

This bread machine zucchini bread is the softest one I've made, and the oven never turns on. Your bread maker does the work. You dump the batter, add the shredded zucchini at the beep, and come back to a tender, cinnamon-spiced loaf with a crackly top. It is my favorite way to use summer zucchini.

Equipment

  • Bread Machine

Ingredients

  • ½ cup avocado oil or other neutral flavor oil
  • 2 eggs beaten and at room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini squeezed dry in a towel (see note)
  • ½ cup toasted walnuts or chocolate chips tossed in a tablespoon of flour

Instructions

  • Grate the zucchini, and squeeze excess moisture with a clean towel.
    • Squeeze the zucchini to release the dripping excess, but leave some moisture. Over-squeezing can cause dry bread.
  • Place the avocado oil, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, salt, flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in your bread machine pan.
  • Select the quick bread, cake, or dessert program and press start. If your bread machine has the option, select the dark crust.
  • When the add-in beeper goes off, add the zucchini and walnuts or chocolate chips.
    • Quick bread cycles vary. Don't trust the timer alone. Check the center with a toothpick or thermometer before removing from the bread machine.
  • When the bread is done baking, use oven mitts to immediately remove the bread pan from the machine.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes, and then remove from the pan.
  • Allow to cool on a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Note: The addition of zucchini or chocolate chips is not included in nutritional information.
