Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 222kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup (135 g) finely grated zucchini, after measuring, squeeze liquid out
- 2 plum tomatoes, diced
- ¾ cup (170 g) whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (50 g) vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 ¼ cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup packed fresh basil, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
- In a bowl, add finely grated zucchini (after liquid has been squeezed out), diced tomatoes, milk, eggs, tomato paste, and oil. Stir until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients. Stir until incorporated. Add chopped basil and stir just until incorporated. Batter will be thick.
- Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 48 to 55 minutes, OR until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with dry crumbs, or bread reaches 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center (baking times will vary based on your oven and type of pan used).
- Allow bread to cool completely on the counter before removing from pan and slicing.
Recommended Equipment
Notes
- Leftover zucchini bread will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If your bread is very moist/wet, I recommend refrigerating.
- Zucchini bread can be frozen for up to 6 months. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap/foil and store in a freezer safe bag or container. Thaw on the counter top for 1 to 3 hours.
