Zucchini Bread With Nutella Recipes

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on two long sides, then butter and flour paper.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, stir together butter, eggs, vanilla, and zucchini. Stir into dry mixture, then fold in chocolate. Pour into pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan and cool completely.
• Glaze: In a small bowl, combine sugar and milk. Whisk until smooth. Pour glaze over bread, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Let stand until set, about 20 minutes, then cut into slices to serve. Bread will keep, unglazed, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

CLASSIC ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 8-x4-inch loaf pans with softened butter and line with parchment paper.
• Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and smell like hazelnuts, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a whisk to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot; set aside.
• Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl.
• Whisk together eggs, light brown sugar, sugar and canola oil in a medium bowl until no lumps remain and eggs are well blended.
• Using your hands, squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini. Add zucchini and browned butter to the egg mixture, whisking to blend.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to slowly incorporate until no dry spots remain.
• Divide batter among prepared pans, smoothing the top. Sprinkle both with demerara sugar, if using, and place in oven. Bake, rotating once, until bread is golden brown on top, pulls away from the sides and springs back lightly when pressed at the top, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the loaf pan.
