Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup wheat flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1¾ cup zucchini grated (do not dry or drain excess liquid)
  • ½ cup almonds chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries chopped
  • 1½ tbsp orange zest ½ orange worth
  • 2 tbsp orange juice ½ orange worth

Almond Glaze

  • 1 tbsp milk
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ tsp almond extract

Instructions

Zucchini Bread

  • In a small bowl add cranberries and orange juice, microwave for 30 seconds and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray loaf pan with baking nonstick spray.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix all wet ingredients together except for the grated zucchini, almonds and cranberries in a large bowl.
  • Add half the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix in. Do not over mix, just enough to incorporate all the ingredients. Mix in zucchini, almonds and cranberries (minus any excess orange juice - should be able 1 tbsp left in bottom of bowl).
  • Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, covering with foil for the last 15 minutes. You will know it's fully cooked when you can insert a cake tester into the loaf and it comes out clean. Let cool on cooling rack.

Almond Glaze

  • Mix all ingredients together and drizzle on cooled zucchini bread (it will slide off zucchini bread if it's still hot).

Notes

A cup of zucchini is 150 grams if weighing ingredients.  This means you need around 260 grams of zucchini.
This zucchini bread freezes very well.  Just omit the glaze to freeze!
