Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 mini loaves

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups grated zucchini
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  4. 1/4 cup olive oil
  5. 2 large eggs
  6. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  7. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  8. 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cavity mini loaf pan thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini. This is crucial to prevent soggy bread.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a consistent batter.
  4. Gently fold the ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense mini loaves.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 mini loaf cavities, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Place the mini loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the mini loaves cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory side dish or appetizer. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips

  1. Moisture Management: Always squeeze out excess water from grated zucchini to prevent soggy bread. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and press firmly.
  2. Cheese Matters: Use freshly grated Parmesan for the most robust flavor. Pre-packaged cheese can be less flavorful and may affect texture.
  3. Mixing Technique: Mix ingredients gently and avoid overmixing. Overmixing can develop gluten and result in tough, dense mini loaves.
  4. Pan Preparation: Thoroughly grease your mini loaf pan to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
  5. Don't Overbake: Watch your loaves closely in the last few minutes of baking. Golden brown tops and a clean toothpick test are your indicators of perfect doneness.
  6. Serving Suggestion: These mini loaves are versatile - serve warm as an appetizer, alongside soups, or as a unique breakfast item.
