Mix & Match Double Batch with Momfessionals!
It's time once again for one of my Mix and Match Double Batch recipes!! This time, Andrea from Momfessionals (also one of my BFFs) gave me her yummy Zucchini Bread recipe to tweak just a bit.
Here's the fun thing about mixing and matching...it's not making it better (because trust me, her bread cannot be improved upon)...it's about playing around with flavor combinations, looking to your pantry for a little inspiration and having fun while you're in the kitchen.
I asked Andrea to share with me a recipe she makes a lot during October and this bread recipe fit the bill. Sweet Andrea loves her a cup of tea and a slice of Zucchini Bread after a long day of teaching middle school math (can you blame her?!?!).
All I did was take her yummy bread recipe and tweak it just a tad...just a little twist on a great recipe. Thanks Andrea!!

You can click here to see Andrea's original recipe. I just replaced some cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice, the applesauce with canned pumpkin and stirred in a bit of cocoa powder. Either way you slice it, you're going to have a great piece of bread!
Shopping List 3 eggs, beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin (I used Libby's)
2 cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 whole zucchinis)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease (I used Pam) two loaf pans and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin and sugar with an electric mixer. Stir in the grated zucchini and vanilla. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder with a whisk.
Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture. Mix until just combined with your spoon.
Divide your batter between the two prepared loaf pans.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until the tops of the bread has lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove loaves from the oven, run a knife around the edges and carefully turn each loaf out on to a plate to cool.
Slice the yummy bread and serve.
My house smelled so good when we baked this bread and our tummies were so happy!
If you really wanted to add a little something extra...you could also stir in one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips along with your zucchini for an extra chocolaty bread. That would be delicious too :)!
