Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Gingerbread Loaf.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab two 9x5-inch loaf pans and give them a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious loaves slide out easily later.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rich brown sugar, creamy vanilla yogurt, sweet molasses, smooth vegetable oil, and fresh eggs.
Step 4
Mix everything together until it’s beautifully blended and smooth.
Step 5
Next, sprinkle in the warm spices: ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, along with baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Stir gently until all the ingredients are well combined, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to fold in the star of the show—shredded zucchini.
Step 8
This adds moisture and a subtle sweetness to your bread.
Step 9
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, being careful not to overmix; you want it just combined for the best texture.
Step 10
Once your batter is ready, divide it evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, making sure each one is filled to the same level.
Step 11
Place the pans in your preheated oven and let them bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Step 12
You’ll know they’re done when they turn a lovely golden brown, spring back when you gently touch them, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 13
Once baked to perfection, let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
Step 14
After that, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 15
Enjoy the wonderful aroma that fills your home as you anticipate the deliciousness to come!.
