Zucchini


Zucchini Brownies

(This is a very tasty recipe and a good way to get rid of summer squash.  I substitute summer squash for the zucchini and it works just as well.  You can always cut these into single servings and freeze them for another time.)
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Combine in large bowl
  • 2-3 cups zucchini (shredded)
Stir in. 
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup plain yogurt (or kefir if that’s what you have)
  • ½ cup coconut or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine in separate bowl and beat with fork.  Stir into zucchini mixture.  Spread evenly into greased 9x13-inch pan.
  • ½-1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or otherwise)
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)

Sprinkle on top of batter.  Bake in preheated oven at 350F until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. 

 

Pineapple-Zucchini Bread

(summer squash is interchangeable with zucchini)

makes 2 9x5 inch loaves

From Derek’s Mom

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup coconut or canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini/summer squash
  • 1 can (8 ¼ oz) crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts (or any other nut/seed) optional

Preheat oven to 350F.  Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans; set aside.

In a bowl, beat eggs until frothy; beat in sugar, oil and vanilla and continue beating until mixture is thick and foamy.  Feel free to use an electric mixer. 

Stir in zucchini/summer squash and pineapple.  In another bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts; add to zucchini mixture and stir just until all flour is moistened. Spoon batter into prepared pans. 

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.  Makes 2 loaves.
