Canyon Ranch Zucchini Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the butter, oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Fold in the zucchini.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir the zucchini mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
• Bake, rotating the pan about halfway through, until puffed and golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly coat an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" bread pan with canola oil.
• In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, olive oil, prune puree, raisins and applesauce. Mix gently. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine all flours, baking soda and baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. Stir in flax seed and mix well.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs with sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract. Add zucchini mixture and mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
• Pour into bread pan and bake for 45 minutes or until bread springs back when touched in the center. Cool completely on a rack. Remove from pan and cut into 18 slices.

Steps:

• Grease two 5"x9" baking pans; line bottom with greased waxed paper, flour lightly, and set aside.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl.
• Add sugar, zucchini, and carrot, and mix well.
• Add remaining ingredients, and mix thoroughly.
• Pour into greased baking pans, each half full.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-60 minutes, probably closer to the 60 minute range.
• Let cool in baking pan for five minutes before turning out onto wire rack.
• Cool on rack before wrapping.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 8-x4-inch loaf pans with softened butter and line with parchment paper.
• Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and smell like hazelnuts, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a whisk to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot; set aside.
• Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl.
• Whisk together eggs, light brown sugar, sugar and canola oil in a medium bowl until no lumps remain and eggs are well blended.
• Using your hands, squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini. Add zucchini and browned butter to the egg mixture, whisking to blend.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to slowly incorporate until no dry spots remain.
• Divide batter among prepared pans, smoothing the top. Sprinkle both with demerara sugar, if using, and place in oven. Bake, rotating once, until bread is golden brown on top, pulls away from the sides and springs back lightly when pressed at the top, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the loaf pan.
