Caribbean Zucchini Bread Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caribbean Zucchini Bread Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C). While it warms up, take a moment to grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans, ensuring they’re ready for the delicious batter to come.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. This blend of dry ingredients will create a wonderful base for your bread.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat these ingredients together until they’re well mixed and smooth, creating a sweet and flavorful mixture.

4. Step 4

   Now, gently stir the dry flour mixture into the wet banana mixture. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until you see no dry flour left. This will keep your bread light and fluffy!

5. Step 5

   Next, fold in the grated zucchini, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut. These ingredients add texture and a burst of flavor, making each bite a delightful experience.

6. Step 6

   Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about two-thirds full. This allows room for the bread to rise beautifully in the oven.

7. Step 7

   Bake in your preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!

8. Step 8

   Once baked, let the loaves cool in the pans for about 25 minutes. Then, carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
