Zucchini Bread With Oats Food

ZUCCHINI-OAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly coat a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.
• After shredding zucchini, be sure to drain excess liquid. I do this in my hand or in a strainer.
• Combine 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon; set aside.
• Combine flour, oats, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl beat eggs with electic mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or until foamy.
• Add remaining sugar, the applesauce, butter and vanilla. Greadually add the flour mixture.
• Beating on low speed just until combined, stir in zucchini, and nuts. Spoon into prepared pan. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
• Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
• Remove from pan. Cool completely on rack. Wrap and store several hours before slicing.

AWARD-WINNING ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease an 8×4 inch loaf pan. See notes for muffins.
• Combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter with two forks or a pastry cutter (preferred). Mix until the streusel resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chocolate chips (or nuts) together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, and zucchini together until combined. Pour into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until *just* combined; do not overmix. Batter will be semi-thick.
• Spread the batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle streusel on top. Using the back of a spoon, gently press the streusel down into the top of the loaf. The reason you are adding it after 20 minutes is to prevent it from sinking to the bottom of the bread as it bakes. Return bread to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you notice the loaf is browning on top or on the edges too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil. Baking times vary so keep an eye on yours.
• Remove the bread from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
• Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

• Spoon batter into a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove bread from the pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
