Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (281 grams) whole wheat flour, white whole wheat or whole spelt flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) salted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
  • 2 large (50 grams each, out of shell) eggs
  • 3 1/2 cups zucchini shredded and squeezed in a clean kitchen towel to remove some of the liquid*
  • 3/4 cup (83 grams) walnuts or (127 grams) chocolate chips if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing or buttering and set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl stir together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and beat until each is incorporated. Stir in the zucchini.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients just until incorporated, adding walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  • Add batter to the prepared loaf pan and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack when done and cool before slicing.

Notes

  • If you're using older zucchini that's not very wet, this may not be necessary. If it's fresh and juicy, you'll likely need to wring it out a little. If your zucchini is super juicy, wring it out a little more.
