Too hot for a whole lot of baking lately, but we are drowning in zucchini.

Zucchini for breakfast. Did you know can put zucchini in a Dutch Baby?
Zucchini for lunch. Zucchini, roma beans, and spinach fried brown rice.
Zucchini for snacks. Muffins.
Zucchini for dinner. Zoodles with marinara.

Give me some time, I'm sure I'll come up with a zucchini shake too.
(I already make a zucchini chocolate cake so dessert is covered)

And that is why I never liked growing zucchini in the garden.

My mother didn't like zucchini bread but would eat all the zucchini bread I made from this adapted recipe.

Warm Zucchini Bread

1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg - I used a jumbo egg, you could use 2 smaller eggs.
1 cup finely shredded unpeeled zucchini - I substituted 1/4 cup of finely grated carrot for part of the zucchini and I also didn't grate the zucchini as fine as I did the carrot and I also peeled the zucchini.
1 cup toasted walnut pieces - I don't toast the walnuts but suppose it would be okay to do so.
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely chopped - I didn't have any lemon zest and therefore omitted this.
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease an 8 by 4 by 2-inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon of the butter.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, oil, and sugar. Cream the mixture until smooth. Sift the flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Add the egg to the creamed mixture and mix until incorporated. Add the sifted flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time until all is incorporated, and the batter is smooth.
Squeeze and drain the shredded zucchini. Fold zucchini, walnuts, and lemon zest into batter. For a moister bread, don't squeeze all the liquid out.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes until golden brown or when skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve the bread, warm, with butter.
For my apple variation, I used 3/4 of a cup of the zucchini and added 1 peeled and grated red delicious apple (also liquid squeezed out lightly) and one red delicious apple peeled and sliced.
Muffin variation: Pour batter into greased muffin tins or use cupcake papers. Bake at 375° F for approximately 24 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean/dry.

My Multigrain Bread Now Contains: Organic King Arthur Bread Flour
Whole Wheat Flour Seasame Seeds Oats Wheat Germ
Wheat Bran Pumpkin Seeds Sunflower Seeds Flaxmeal Cornmeal
Oat Bran Brown Rice Flour Triticale Grain Flaxseed. Buckwheat. These are in the Bob Hills 7 Grain and My Mixture. I have ordered to add: Psyllium Ragi Seed Kamut That is a lot of Wheat and Grains. I use
1/2 cup of Bob Hills 7 Grain and 1/2 of my mixture. Planning to add 1 tablespoon of each: Psyllium, Ragi Seed, Kamut, Ron, Do you think I may need to add little more water and should I add the Vital Wheat Gluten?

Try pre soaking the grains for a half an hour and then drain them before adding to the bread dough.

If the flour is 50% bread flour, it should be fine. If is seems too dense, adding about a half a cup of vital gluten will help.

Ron, Thanks. I always soak my grains (I remember you taught me to do that when I first started making Multigrains). Always good to remind.
Since my neighbor LIKES my Multigrains....I decided to go "all the way".
I ordered the psyllium,Regi Seed, and Kamut from Amazon and will add
to the Bread. That is it. ENOUGH in there. Thanks again for your input.
