Zucchini Bread

I had some zucchini that were calling out to be made into bread so I went searching for a bread recipe on the world wide web. I found this Zucchini Bread with Oats recipe on bon appetit I just had to make it!

It’s really delicious. Hearty, not too sweet, perfect to serve with butter and jam or even the nut butter of your choice!

Here’s what ya need:

3 large eggs

1 cup olive oil

1 1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Poudre Douce

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

3 1/2 cups grated zucchini

1 cups old-fashioned oats

Topping

1/4 cups old-fashioned oats

3 tablespoons Vanilla Bean Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F ~ grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pans and line them with paper.

Whisk eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl til smooth. In another large bowl whisk together flour, salt, Poudre Douce, baking soda, and baking powder. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the egg mixture into the well. Using a fork, slowly combine the mixtures. Fold in the zucchini and oats. Scrape the batter into your prepared pans and sprinkle on the oats and VBS topping.

Bake 70-80, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 30 minutes then turn out the loaves onto the rack and let cool completely.

Enjoy for breakfast or teatime or with your midmorning coffee!
