“Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks,” -Yo-Yo Ma.
I am always given tons of yellow squash, I don’t know why everyone loves to grow yellow squash. I love zucchini but I have only ever been given one or two and like twenty yellow squash. I don’t get it. But whatever it is my reality so I make zucchini bread with zucchini and you guessed it yellow squash.
Be adventurous! Take some risks, see what happens. . .
Zucchini Bread
Recipe
This recipe makes about 4 loaves of bread
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (I use two small ish zucchini)
- 1 1/2 cups grated yellow squash (two yellow squashes)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup applesauce ( I used a chunky homemade applesauce soo good)
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ( I just add a splash)
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat ( I have my own mill and mill my own wheat flour from hard white wheat berries really makes it nutritious with a little bit of a nutty flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 3 9×5 inch loaf pans with butter and flour.
In a large bowl, add the grated zucchini, sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until no dry flour remains, trying not to over mix.
Pour the batter into the loaf pans, fill pans about 2/3 full. Bake for 50–55 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread should come out with moist crumbs on it, not raw batter.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack, I just put mine on the stovetop greats. Allow cooling before slicing.
Enjoy hot with butter 😉
