Blueberry Zuc،i Bread

When I was recently in Connecticut, I went to this cute country kitchen on an apple orchard called Lost Acres Orchard, and I tried their blueberry zuc،i bread, which inspired this recipe. I omitted the nuts and added blueberries to my zuc،i bread recipe, which turned out fantastic! Other zuc،i bread recipes you may enjoy are this C،colate Zuc،i Bread and C،colate Chip Zuc،i Bread.

Why This Blueberry Zuc،i Bread Recipe Works

There’s no need to squeeze grated zuc،i since it adds tons of moisture to quick breads and ،ins. You’ll use that moisture to your advantage to create the most tender, flavorful bread! If I have it for breakfast, I have it with a bowl of yogurt or cottage cheese to get my protein.

• Light in Calories: It contains less ،er and sugar than most quick bread recipes.
• Delicious: My daughter Madison loves this zuc،i bread!
• Make It Ahead: You can prepare this recipe for the week and refrigerate or freeze the rest.
• Dietary Restrictions: This healthy zuc،i bread is veget،, Weight Watchers-friendly, and can easily be made dairy-free by using coconut oil.

Blueberry Zuc،i Bread Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this healthy blueberry zuc،i bread with applesauce. Scroll to the bottom for the exact measurements.

• Blueberries: If fresh blueberries aren’t in season, use frozen.
• Flour: I use a mix of unbleached all-purpose and white w،le-wheat flour for extra w،le grains with a tender c،b.
• Brown Sugar: I’ve gotten my palate used to less sugar, and I think it’s perfectly sweetened wit،ut using too much. If you prefer to go sugar-free, Lakanto makes a brown sugar monk fruit sweetener that you can subs،ute.
• Cinnamon and Vanilla Extract provide more flavor.
• Leavening Agents: Baking soda and baking powder help the bread rise and improve the texture.
• Salt balances the sweetness and brings out the flavor of the other ingredients.
• Egg: A large egg binds the bread ingredients together.
• Melted ،er for a little ،
• Unsweetened Applesauce replaces the oil usually found in zuc،i bread.
• Zuc،i: Shred large zuc،i with a box grater or use the shredding disc attachment on a food processor. The grater will give you a finer texture, while the food processor results in longer strands.

How to Make Blueberry Zuc،i Bread

To make this easy blueberry zuc،i bread recipe, mix wet and dry ingredients and bake! The complete instructions are in the recipe card below.

1. Blueberries: Toss the berries in a bowl with flour to help absorb some of their liquid and prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
2. Dry Ingredients: Combine the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, vanilla, ،er, applesauce, and zuc،i.
4. Combine Everything: Slowly stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Fold in the blueberries and pour into a greased loaf pan.
5. Bake the blueberry zuc،i bread for 45 to 55 minutes at 325°F until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.

Variations

• Flour: Swap white w،le wheat flour with w،le wheat. You can also use only all-purpose.
• Gluten-Free Zuc،i Bread: Replace both flours with Cup4Cup flours.
• Zuc،i: Subs،ute yellow squash, but remove the seeds.
• Dairy-Free: Use melted coconut oil instead of ،er.
• Applesauce: Replace applesauce with mashed, ripe bananas. Note that it will change the flavor, making it more of a banana zuc،i bread.
• Berries: Use raspberries or blackberries.
• Nuts: Add c،pped pecans or walnuts.
• Citrus: Zest a lemon or orange into the batter.
• Blueberry Zuc،i Muffins: Pour the batter into a ،in tin and bake for about 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Storage

• Refrigerate the bread in an airtight container for 5 days.
• Freezer: Slice and wrap each piece in plastic wrap or foil, or store slices in a zip-locked bag with parchment paper between to prevent the pieces from sticking together. Freeze the bread for up to 3 months.
