Vegan Sourdough Zucchini Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Sourdough Zucchini Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a 9x5-inch loaf pan to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg until everything is well blended, filling the air with warm, inviting aromas.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, take your sourdough starter discard and give it a gentle stir, letting it sit for about 5 minutes until you see those delightful bubbles forming.

4. Step 4

   While that’s happening, grab your grated zucchini and toss it with a sprinkle of salt in a separate bowl.

5. Step 5

   Let it rest for 5 minutes to draw out some moisture, which will help keep your loaf perfectly moist.

6. Step 6

   After the time is up, gently squeeze the zucchini to remove any excess liquid, then add it to a large mixing bowl.

7. Step 7

   To this, mix in your mashed banana, brown sugar, and canola oil, whisking until the mixture is smooth and the brown sugar is fully incorporated, creating a lovely, sweet base.

8. Step 8

   Now, stir in the bubbly sourdough discard until everything is evenly mixed.

9. Step 9

   Gradually fold in the flour mixture, being careful not to overmix—just a few gentle stirs will do! Pour the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for that perfect finish.

10. Step 10

    Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your loaf is ready.

11. Step 11

    Once it’s baked to golden perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for around 30 minutes before slicing into your delightful creation.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the wonderful flavors and the joy of sharing this scrumptious loaf with family and friends!.
