Zucchini Pecan Date Quick Bread With Lemon Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sour cream and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in zucchini and nuts., Transfer to two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar and oil until well blended. Add buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest and blend together. Fold in zucchini until it is mixed well. Add flour mixture and blend together until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
• While loaf is still warm, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk in a bowl for glaze and spoon over bread. Let glaze set up before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• For the quick bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the figs and pecans and toss together. Set aside.
• Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded zucchini. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular loaf and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
• For the brown butter glaze: When the bread is cool, cook the butter in a small pan over low heat until brown; keep warm.
• Put the confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl and whisk in the brown butter until smooth. Use immediately.
• Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a colander with several layers of paper towels. Place zucchini on top and cover with several more layers of paper towels. Add weight and set aside at least 15 minutes, pressing occasionally to remove moisture.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar baking soda, spices, dates (see note at the bottom), and walnuts.
• Add zucchini and toss to coat.
• In a separate container, mix the molasses with the oil and the eggs.
• Create a well in the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients.
• Stir with a wooden spoon until uniformly combined.
• Pour into a loaf pan (approx. 9x5x3) and bake 50-55 minutes.
• NOTE: When chopping dates, I usually add a spoonful of the dry ingredients and toss to coat. This prevents the date pieces from sticking together.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, level with knife. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
• Combine zucchini, milk, oil, rind, and egg in a bowl; add the flour mixture. Stir just until moist.
• Spoon batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray (or muffin tins, half baking time).
• Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
• Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice; stir with a whisk. Drizzle over loaf.
