Zucchini Almond Bread

May 16, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hello, hello!

I’m going to be up front and honest with you.  I thought today’s recipe was going to be a flop.  I made a healthy, good for you quick bread that went kind of flat.  The bread felt kind of heavy too!  I thought, oh man, I made dense bread that going to taste like crap.  But, you never know right?  So I cut it up, took my pictures and then before I popped it in the freezer, I took a bite, then another and oh my gosh, I think this is by far one of the best zucchini breads I have ever had!!   I kid you not!

Zucchini Almond Bread

The taste of the cinnamon and nutmeg in it, brought it all together!  The bread is so moist it practically melts in your mouth.  It just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover!!  I know after this bread, I will never do that again!!  I think the reason it fell kind of flat is because I only added 1 1/2 cups of flour instead of two.  I did that on purpose because I didn’t add any fat to the bread, except for the almonds and I didn’t want a dry bread and this is by far not a dry bread at all!!

Zucchini Almond Bread


Since I didn’t add any fat I made the bread with plain 0% fat Greek yogurt and applesauce.  Also for the shredded zucchini, I didn’t ring out all the water from it because I ran out of paper towels, so the zucchini was a tad wet.  All that together, added moisture.  So if you decide to make this bread, don’t worry if it has a flat top.  Just be sure to smooth out the batter when you pour it into your baking pans.

Zucchini Almond Bread

This bread freezes well and will be perfect for my Husband to take to lunches this week.  Just let it defrost at room temperature.  This bread would also be great to have for breakfast or a brunch.  I honestly can’t get over how wonderful it is.  I am absolutely amazed!!!

Plan on lots of zucchini recipes this season.  I got a letter from my CSA and they said that their Zucchini crops have gone crazy wild with a bunch of different varieties of zucchini.   I can’t wait, however my Husband is not a fan of zucchini.  The only way I can get him to eat it is in baked goods, so expect a lot of baking recipes with this healthy, good for you vegetable.

Have a super wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Zucchini and almonds, what a yummy combination. I’ve had the same thing happen with photos – I’ll think they’re horrible and when I go to throw them out I think maybe it’s not so bad and then the photos turn out wonderful with just a touch of editing.

    This bread *does* look fantastically moist! I started making a bunch of zucchini breads/muffins last year when we started our garden; eager to see how our crop turns up this year! Looking forward to more recipes 🙂

    It looks so moist!! This would be dangerous to have around our house… would probably not stop eating the loaf all day. We would have to gift a large chunk to our neighbors.. lol

    I love zucchini bread! I made a zuke-banana bread last summer and most people didn’t really seem to get on board with it, but as a zuke-bread lover, you know that when you make a good one, it can be really good! Yours looks incredible! Can’t believe there’s no fat it it and it’s also practically vegan, only just a bit of egg whites that arent. Great job!

    I was really excited about this recipe however I followed it to a T and after the recommended baking time my bread was incredibly mushy. So I left it in longer, 15 min and just ended up with a blackened crust and the same mushy bread. I used a regular sized loaf pan (the same I always use to bake other similar breads). Help! I really want this healthy recipe to work for me!

      I am so sorry! I’ll re-make mine and make one leaf and see how it goes. I think I have all the ingredients to make it. I’ll check back with you and let you know how it turned out.

    Could I use coconut oil instead of applesauce?

      Hi Jordan, You can, but don’t use a 1/2 cup, I would about 2 or 3 tablespoons. If at the end of making your batter and it seems to thick, add a pinch of milk to it. Let me know how it works out.

    So what is the breakdown on the flour if I use 2 cups?

      1 cup whole wheat and 1 cup all purpose flour. I hope this helps.

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have an addiction to Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have an addiction to bunnies and the carrots they eat. Please send help.
🥕
This weekend I worked on my bar cart and let me tell you that I am loving the orange color and all the carrots and bunnies. So much fun!! 
🥕
In the bowl on the tiered tray you see wooden carrots, those are from @krumpetshomedecor. They are so cute!! My dogs seem to be obsessed with them when I hung them on my cart, so I had to hide them. I’ll share them in stories today.
🥕
The carrot sign on the wall, little carrot sign on the tiered tray are from Krumpets Home Decor. Plus the wooden carrot banner is the Krumpets deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off: PBANDP. Link in bio.

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

Have you started decorating for Spring?

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
