Many Splendored Quick Bread - Zucchini Courgettes #3


I was curious about having so much veggie in the quickbread, or some of you might find it as cake. My tongue is confused just as well, haha. Quick breads are bakes that are basically prepared using the quick method, just stir the wet and dry ingredients together, like making muffins.

I was hoping my kids will eat it, but nope!




Kids are not that easily fooled.
My elder didn't like the walnuts, my middle didn't like the green specks and the youngest was too young that time.

After giving 1 loaf to my MIL, I ate it for breakfast , the next breakfast and the next next...... breakfast until they were all gone.

I actually made double  cos I didn't want to use half a zucchini. Greedy greeedy! But recipe proportion below is the original amount.




Many Splendored Quick Bread

242gm plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

113gm mashed banana
108gm oil
72gm muscovado sugar
66gm sugar
2 Grade B eggs
79gm water
1.5tsp vanilla extract
74gm shredded zucchini
33gm shredded carrots

1. Preheat oven to 160(fan)/180C. Prepare two -1L pans or three 650ml pans or one 1.5L pan. Fully line the pans.
2. Sift flour with baking powder and baking soda. Combine with the rest of the dry ingredients.
3. Put banana, oil, both sugars and eggs together in a mixing bowl. Beat it with mixer on med low speed and gradually drizzle in the water. Raise the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes or until it looks paler than before. Add in the rest of the wet  ingredients and beat it until incorporated.

5. Divide batter into prepared pans.

*To form the split, cut with a sharp small blade in the middle after 15mins of baking, be quick and don't let the hot air escape too much
