Hello and welcome to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make zucchini bread.
Oh, yeah.
Zucchini Bread is a member of the quick bread family,
and it's super easy to make easy ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it before I move on.

my new videos.
Let's get backing down below in the description box,
you'll find the list of the ingredients and their amounts.
I have one and one half cups of all purpose flour
or plain flour.
I want to add two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and you could
reduce that to one teaspoon if you wanted one half teaspoon
of salt, one half teaspoon of baking soda and one half
teaspoon of baking powder coming here with a whisk.
And let's risk this all together.
And you could use a sifter as well.
And now in a large bowl, we'll add in our egg and you'll
notice I'm just going to be using a whisk for
this process.
A lot of times I'll use a hand mixer, but some people
don't actually have a hand mixer.
So I just want to show you that and make this with just good
old fashioned hand power.
All right.
So to that egg, we will add one half cup of oil,
just vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil,
coconut oil, one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract,
one cup of white granulated sugar in that mix.
You can burn a few calories doing it by hand instead of
using a hand mixer and then add in
one third cup of sour cream,
if you watch a lot of my episodes with quick breads,
you know that I like to add sour cream.
Gives it a slight losing, but also helps with the
moistness and keeping the batter nice and moist and the
bread once it's baked nice and moist.
And that is one third cup of sour cream.
Oh, right, once that is done, we will
add in the flour just about half of this time.
And I'm using a wire whisk because it is more sturdy than
my silicone whisk,
but again, you can just use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
I do that normally, but I just wanted to show you that you can
make it with a whisk or like a wooden spoon.
One nice thing about using the whiskey is it makes it harder
to over mix the batter.
Scrape the sides.
Oh, right, excellent.
And now we want to fold in our nets, I'm using a half a
cup of chopped pecans, but you can also use walnuts
if you want.
And then the star of the dish, the zucchini.
And this is one cup of grated zucchini, about one
medium zucchini makes a little bit over a cup
of grated zucchini.
And you'll notice I didn't peel it first.
I don't mind having the peel, but if you want if you don't
want that dark green peel showing, then you can
peel the zucchini first and we will just fold
this all together.
And if you were using a hand mixer, a stand mixer,
you want to do this part by hand.
OK, so don't use the mixer with the zucchini and let's.
All right, does that look amazing, fantastic.
All right, I have this four by eight bread pan and you'll
notice that I greased it with shortening and then I put in
about a tablespoon of flour and I just tapped it all around the
sides of the pan.
Now, this is going to make it so the bread does not stick to
which you can spray it with kitchen's brain, do the same
thing with flour or just spray with kitchen spray and not
do the flour.
I like to air on the side of caution because I don't like it
when my
cakes and breads stick to the pan.
All right, let's just pour this in here.
Make sure we scrape all of it out
and we'll bake it in a preheated oven at three twenty
five degrees Fahrenheit or 162 Celsius, and we'll bake it
for 55 to 65 minutes until when you poke it with a toothpick,
it comes out clean.
And when it comes out of the oven, we'll just let it sit
for 10 minutes or so in the pans work and cool a
little bit.
And then we'll come in here with a cake spatula.
Just go around the edges a little bit just to make sure
that is loose.
Great, and then we'll just flip it over.
Onto a wire rack so we can cool the rest of the way,
came right out of there, really nice.
Look at that.
Pretty awesome, right?
And you'll look in the pan and there's nothing stuck to the
bottom of the pan or anything.
Really cool.
You can smell it.
You can smell the zucchini or smell so good.
And after it cools, come on in and cut into it.
Yeah, look at that, you can see the green from the zucchini
and the nuts.
Oh yeah,
nice and moist.
Mm hmm.
So incredible, and that is how you make homemade amazing
zucchini bread, really easy to do, simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
