WHOLEGRAIN ZUCCHINI BREAD SLICE

This Wholegrain Zucchini Bread Slice is a moist, soft and naturally sweetened single-serving treat that combines the goodness of whole wheat flour and freshly grated zucchini. With a hint of cinnamon for warmth and honey for a touch of natural sweetness, this nutritious bread slice is high in fibre while remaining light and flavourful. The zucchini adds moisture without altering the taste, making this a great way to sneak in extra vegetables. Add salt for taste and baking powder to bake correctly. Whether you enjoy it as a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack or a guilt-free dessert, this zucchini bread slice is an easy and satisfying option. Unlike traditional zucchini bread, this small-batch version is perfect for a single serving, requiring minimal effort and ingredients. Enjoy it warm with a drizzle of honey, nut butter or pair it with your favourite cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.

PREPARATION

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small ramekin or baking dish.
  • Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out any excess moisture using a paper towel.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine honey, oil and grated zucchini. Stir well to blend the flavours.
  • Combine the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • Mix the batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until thoroughly combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Pour the batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared ramekin or baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake the bread slice: Bake the bread slice for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool before serving: Let the zucchini bread slice rest for a few minutes before removing it from the dish.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

15–18 minutes

TIPS

  • Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini: This prevents the bread from becoming too wet.
  • Do not over-mix the batter: Over-mixing can make the bread dense rather than light and soft.
  • Enhance flavour: Add a dash of nutmeg or vanilla extract for extra warmth.
  • For extra crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking.
  • Even baking: Use a small baking dish for an even rise and texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Dairy-Free: Replace honey with maple syrup and use coconut oil instead of regular oil.
  • Vegan: Use a plant-based sweetener like agave nectar.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Chocolate Zucchini Bread: Stir in a teaspoon of dark chocolate chips for a richer flavour.
  • Nutty Zucchini Bread: Mix in crushed walnuts or almonds for added crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap the bread slice in cling film and store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or in a toaster oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5 minutes.
