Zucchini Coconut Loaf Recipes

HEALTHY ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking. If you'll be toasting the nuts, line a small, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Toast the nuts: Once the oven has finished preheating, pour the chopped nuts onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are fragrant and toasted, about 5 minutes, stirring halfway.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and honey. Beat them with a whisk until they are combined. Add the eggs and beat well. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 20 seconds in the microwave.)
• Add the milk, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg, and whisk to blend. Switch to a big spoon and stir in the zucchini (be sure to squeeze excess moisture out of the zucchini first). Add the flour and stir just until combined. Some lumps are ok! Gently fold in the toasted nuts now, if using.
• Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with additional cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the center of the loaf springs back to the touch. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack. Use a serrated knife to cut individual slices.
• This bread is moist, so it will keep for just 2 to 3 days at room temperature. Store it in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months or so. I like to slice the bread before freezing and defrost individual slices, either by lightly toasting them or defrosting them in the microwave.

ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
• Combine flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat sugar, oil, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until foamy.
• Place grated zucchini in a colander in the sink. Squeeze out as much liquid with your hands as possible. Add zucchini and eggs to the sugar mixture and mix well. Stir into flour mixture until well combined.
• Pour zucchini batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

LIME COCONUT ZUCCHINI BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" bread pans (loaf pans) with baking spray. Set aside.
• Mix oil, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and granulated sugar together (with a rubber spatula, with a standing mixer, or with a hand mixer). Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, whisk all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and lime zest together.
• Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Stir in shredded zucchini, coconut, and vanilla extract.
• Divide the batter evenly between the two bread pans.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Allow to cool about 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a wire cooling rack.
• Spread 1/2 cup coconut on a foil-lined baking sheet and toast in a 300 degree oven for 7-8 minutes, stirring the coconut once or twice. Once golden brown, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and lime juice until combined. If the glaze is too thick, stir in the remaining lime juice.
• Drizzle glaze over the breads. Sprinkle toasted coconut and extra lime zest, if desired, over the bread before the glaze sets.
• Enjoy!
• Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days, or in the fridge for up to a week.

Stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in zucchini and apples until moistened., Pour into an 8x4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

ZUCCHINI COCONUT LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
• In small pan boil one cup water. Add currants or raisins, and boil for two minutes. Drain.
• In mixing bowl beat egg, oil, and sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla.
• In another bowl, measure flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut, walnuts, and currants or raisins. Stir to combine thoroughly. Pour all at once over batter in mixing bowl. Stir to moisten. Turn into greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn out on rack. Cool and wrap.

CARROT ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside. Note - Loaf is not very tall as baked in a 9×5 pan, but I fear an 8×4 pan will be a bit too skimpy.
• In a large bowl, add the the egg, brown sugar, oil, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don't overmix.
• Add the carrots, zucchini, optional walnuts or raisins, and fold gently to combine.
• Turn batter out into the prepared pan (it's quite thick, this is what you want), smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
• Bake for about 52 to 58 minutes (I baked 54 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. Tip - Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it at the 35 minute-mark to prevent top and sides from becoming overly browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of carrots, zucchini, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don't worry if it takes longer to bake than the baking estimates provided.
• Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve with or glaze with Honey Butter, Cinnamon-Sugar Butter, or Vanilla Bean Browned Butter Glaze, or Cream Cheese Glaze. Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

COCONUT FLOUR ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 8x4-inch (or 9x5) loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl whisk together eggs, sweetener, nut/seed butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
• To the wet ingredients add coconut flour, flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until everything is well combined.
• Now add the grated zucchini and any optional add-in and fold them in with a spatula until evenly distributed.
• Fill the zucchini bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes. When the loaf is done a toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean. And the top will look cooked and spring back when lightly pressed.
• Let the loaf cool inside the pan for at least 30 minutes. Then turn it over onto a cooling rack and remove the pan and parchment.
• The coconut flour zucchini bread slices taste amazing when toasted. I also like to spread a little nut butter on top.
• The zucchini loaf will keep at room temperature for 2-3 days. About a week in the fridge if stored airtight. The zucchini bread can also be frozen for several months.

COCONUT LIME ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Prepare the baking pan. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9×5 loaf pan. If desired, fit a half-sheet of parchment in the pan and spray the parchment. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
• Shred and Drain the Zucchini. Using the "Small Shred" side of the box grater, grate 1 cup of zucchini and place in a strainer, set atop a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and stir it around a bit to encourage it to exude excess liquid. Leave for 10 minutes, while you prepare the the batter.
• Preheat oven to 350F, or 325F for Convection/Fan oven.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Into a separate, medium bowl, whisk the sugar, olive oil, coconut extract, lime juice and eggs, until all ingredients are incorporated.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until no flour bits are visible. Then, discard the drained liquid and fold in the drained zucchini, coconut and lime zest.
• Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and bake on middle oven rack for 40-48 minutes, or until top is golden and a tester comes out clean. Mine took 44 minutes. Best to test when the top is lightly golden then every 5 minutes thereafter.
• Once the loaf is out of the oven, let cool 15 minutes in the pan. Stir together the glaze ingredients.
• After 15 minutes, turn the loaf out of the pan, onto a plate or board. Cover the still warm top and sides of the loaf by brushing with about half of glaze. Once the glaze hardens into a shiny surface, cover again with remaining glaze.
• Cool loaf completely before slicing with a serrated knife.
