Zucca is Italian for gourd, but zucchini are considered an abundant summer squash to most of us. Small or medium zucchini are ideal for baking because they are more tender. This bread is always a favorite; even when made with less oil and sugar, its taste isn’t compromised at all.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup low-fat (1%) milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 smallor 2 medium unpeeled zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
3. In another medium bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the brown sugar, oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the zucchini and continue beating 1 minute more. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined (do not over-mix), about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
4. Sprinkle the top of the batter with the granulated sugar and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack, 5-10 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on the rack to finish cooling.
