In order to make the best possible blueberry zucchini bread, you’ll want to source fresh, local, and organic produce – even better if you can grow the fruits yourself!
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- ½ cup raw sugar
- ⅓ cup organic coconut sugar
- 1¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cup spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¾ cup organic blueberries
Instructions
- Grease an 8×4 inch loaf pan and set aside.
- Then, using a box grater, grate the zucchini into a bowl. Using cheesecloth, or cheesecloth alternative, wring the excess moisture out of the zucchini.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the oil, sugars, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add wet ingredients into your dry ingredients, and fold in the grated zucchini and blueberries.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and bake in the oven at 350°F for 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to rest in the pan for an additional 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Tip: You can also use this recipe to create blueberry zucchini muffins instead. Just divide the batter out into muffin cups, and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
