Ingredients

Making a no-yeast sweet zucchini bread at home requires very few ingredients apart from fresh grated zucchini.

Other ingredients are all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, oil, milk, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vinegar. A little bit of allspice powder and cinnamon powder add a unique warm flavor to the bread.

To make it vegan, you can use plant-based milk. Ensure that you sift the flour as it makes light bread. Baking soda, baking powder, and vinegar help in rising the bread as we are not using any eggs in making this bread machine zucchini bread recipe.

Instructions

Making zucchini bread in the bread machine is very easy. All you need to do is put all the wet and dry ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer.

It is best to weigh and sift the all-purpose flour to make the zucchini bread to avoid any lumps and also ensure a light and airy cake.

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor using the shredding disc. You can keep the zucchini peel on when making zucchini bread.

Once you put all the ingredients into the pan, except the walnuts, place it inside the bread machine. Select the "quick bread" setting. It is the perfect setting to make bread machine sweet bread recipes like banana bread, pumpkin bread, and cakes like carrot cake.

The quick bread setting will mix all the ingredients well and then bake the zucchini bread. While the ingredients are mixed with the paddle to make a smooth batter, push down any flour on the sides of the bread pan using a rubber spatula to ensure a good mix, and then close the lid.

When the machine beeps for add-ins, add some chopped walnuts or pecans. If your machine does not beep, you can add the walnuts just a minute before the baking starts.

Once the cycle is complete, the zucchini bread will be ready. Insert a toothpick or a butter knife at the center of the bread to test for doneness. If it comes out clean then the bread is well baked, else you can start the bake cycle for a few minutes to bake the bread.

Let the bread maker pan cool down for about 20-30 minutes and then invert the pan to remove the zucchini bread. If you invert the pan while the pan is hot then the bread will break.

Place the bread on a wire rack to cool down completely and then you can slice it with an electric knife or a bread knife. Zucchini bread is moist and soft in texture.

Variations

• Nuts - add some pecans instead of walnuts or skip them altogether.
• Vegan - use plant based milk to make vegan zucchini bread.
• Chocolate chips - add some chocolate chips to make chocolate chip zucchini bread.

Chocolate cake, carrot cake, fruit cake, and vanilla cake are desserts that can be made in the bread machine.

Serving suggestions

Zucchini bread can be enjoyed for breakfast or snack. You can apply some whipped cream, cream cheese frosting or some apple butter. You can eat it with your favorite jam or jelly too.

A warm slice with some ginger ice cream, pumpkin ice cream, cinnamon ice cream, or plain vanilla ice cream makes it a pleasant treat.

Equipment

I have made this vegan zucchini bread in the 2 lb. Hamilton Beach artisan bread machine. You can make it in any bread machine which has a "quick bread" cycle.

For slicing the bread, an electric knife or a serrated bread knife works best.

Storage

Zucchini bread can be stored at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can also store it for up to a week in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, heat it in the microwave for a few seconds so that it comes to room temperature.

If you want to store zucchini bread for a longer time, slice it with a bread knife and freeze it in air-tight containers or ziplock bags for up to 3 months.

While freezing, you can place parchment paper between the slices so it is easy to separate them after freezing. You can defrost it in the microwave, or leave it on the counter to thaw.
