Brown Sugar-Zucchini Bread
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
- Turbinado sugar or other crystallized brown sugar, optional
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
- Stir the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- When cominbed, mix in the oats.
- Make a well in the center of the ingredients.
- Whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla together in a small bowl and pour the mixture into the well.
- Combine lightly, then stir in the zucchini.
- Do not overmix.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, mounding it up in the center.
- Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar if you wish.
- Bake for 60 or 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack covered with a clean dish towel to prevent indentations.
- Let the bread cool at least 10 minutes longer before slicing.
- The bread can be served warm or at room temperature.
- It keeps well and makes good toast, too.
- Variation: Brown-Sugar Carrot Bread
- Replace the zucchini with 2 cups grated carrot.
- Because the carrots are a little starchier, reduce the oats to 3/4 cup.
