Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup packed light brown sugar
Fresh Ingredients
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour) Tossing in flour helps prevent sinking during baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater and set aside.
  3. Dice the strawberries into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
  2. In a separate bowl, add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well for 1-2 minutes to incorporate all the ingredients.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the wet ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully combined, with no dry ingredients remaining.
  5. Toss the diced strawberries in a tablespoon of flour, then fold in the zucchini and strawberries gently into the batter.
Baking
  1. Line an 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  2. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  3. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.

Notes

This bread keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze slices for 2-3 months. When ready to enjoy, warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds.
