my mom’s zucchini bread recipe
don’t tell her i’m giving yall this, but it turned out so good i can’t help it. i veganized it and it didn’t taste any different than how i’ve always known it. zucchini is plentiful and tasty here so i have a feeling i’ll be making lots of loaves of these!
mix together:
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups and 2 tbsp shredded zucchini
- 4 tbsp corn starch mixed with 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 tsp dried lemon peel
sift in:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp cinnamon
bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes, checking it at 45 minutes to see if it’s ready. in the end, it should be hot and soft inside and have a thin crispy crust. delish!
