The zucchini recipes my daughter Libby bragged about
My zucchini hater Libby (age 10) apparently said I would tell you my zucchini fritter and zucchini bread recipes, so here they are (I also have my two very favorite zucchini recipes, whole-wheat zucchini pitas and zucchini carpaccio, in my $7.95 collection):
ZUCCHINI BREAD
3 eggs, beaten – 1 Tbsp. vanilla — 1 cup coconut oil –2 cups Sucanat (natural sweetener) — 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini — 3 cups whole-wheat flour (soft white wheat, finely ground) –1 Tbsp. cinamon — 1 tsp. sea salt –1/2 tsp. allspice — 1 tsp. soda — 1/2 tsp. nutmeg –1 tsp. baking powder — 1/2 tsp. cloves
Blend wet ingredients well, add dry ingredients and blend well. Pour in two oiled bread pans and bake at 325 degrees for 45 mins. or until done.
SQUASH FRITTERS
2 eggs (organic, free range) — 2 cups grated squash (zucchini or summer) — 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour — 1 Tbsp. coconut or olive oil — sea salt and freshly grated pepper — 1 tsp. mint or dill –2 Tbsp. finely crumbled feta cheese or parmesan (optional) — 2 Tbsp. grated/finely chopped onion (optional)
Beat eggs, combine with all ingredients except oil, fry in hot coconut or olive oil until browned on both sides. Serve hot.
Is this the zucchini bread I had at your house in August? Emma was making it.
Zucchini bread recipe….3 cups whole wheat flour (soft white wheat flour finely ground)- Is that whole wheat OR white wheat?
Thanks.
Hi,
For those of us that do not use wheat products do you know if rice flour would work for this recipe?
thanks..

Carol, white wheat and whole wheat are the same thing—white wheat is just a variety of the whole grain. If you mean white FLOUR, that’s a refined food. We don’t put that in any of our recipes.
Probably, let me know—non-gluten grains do cause heaviness in breads that rise. This one is a soda recipe rather than yeast so it really might work!
