Delicious Zucchini Plum Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Zucchini Plum Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two bread pans by lining them with parchment paper or giving them a good spray with cooking spray to ensure easy release later on.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the shredded zucchini, vegetable oil, 1 cup of white sugar, packed brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and smooth. This mixture will be the heart of your bread, so make sure it’s mixed thoroughly!

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and baking powder. This dry mixture will add structure to your bread, so mix it well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet zucchini mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Now, fold in the chopped plums, which will add a burst of flavor and moisture to your bread.

5. Step 5

   Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bread pans, filling them about two-thirds full. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of white sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this delightful mixture over the top of the batter for a sweet, crunchy finish.

6. Step 6

   Bake in your preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of baking bread will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!

7. Step 7

   Once baked, let the bread cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
