๐ซ๐๐ป๐๐This blueberry zucchini bread is a quick, no-mixer recipe that's sweet, but not too sweet. Each bite is bursting with fresh blueberries! This is a fan favorite EVERY summer! Especially when the markets or your garden is overflowing with zucchini!
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cup sour cream (lite is okay; or Greek yogurt may be substituted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour + 1/4 cup for tossing with blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 cup coarsely grated zucchini (laid loosely in cup and not packed (donโt wring out)
- 1 cup 6 ounces fresh blueberries (I havenโt tried with frozen)
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9ร5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
- 2To a large bowl, add the the first six ingredients, through vanilla, and whisk to combine.
- 3Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined; donโt overmix.
- 4Add the zucchini and stir to combine; set aside.
- 5To a medium bowl, add the blueberries, 1/4 cup flour (helps prevent them from sinking while baking), and toss to coat.
- 6Add the blueberries and all flour bits to the large bowl with the batter and stir until just combined; donโt overmix.
- 7Turn batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Tip โ Evenly sprinkle the surface with 1 to 2 tablespoons blueberries for a visual pop of color.
- 8Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes (I baked 57 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Baking times will vary based on the moisture content of zucchini, blueberries, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and donโt worry if it takes more or less time to bake than the baking time estimates provided.*
- 9Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
