claire! i have no one else to share this with but i found a signed copy of dessert person that someone was giving away for free yesterday and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
It was super popular when I was a kid. I like my veggies, have no problem with zucchini, but I totally understand why people got grossed out by little grated green bits in what should have been a decadent chocolate cake.
Just a heads up for fellow bakers - there is a difference in the flour measurement between the show notes and the recipe card in the video, and unfortunately I used the latter incorrect one 😥 It still turned out edible but it really does need the full 1 3/4 cup flour.
lmao this just happened to me. thankfully I caught it right before I put it in. I was questioning the 3/4c total and how wet my batter looked 🤨😂 but I ended up just gently folding the rest of the flour in 1/4c at a time so that I didn't cause a ton of gluten development, and then I whipped up a little more sugar-zest for a crunchy top. hoping it comes out OK!
Loved the fact that you used natural veggie colors to get tha subtle redish color. Also the topping stunned me. I will try it next time. The whole cake assembled Looks delicious
For those of us who use weight measurements. I used Claire’s book DESSERT PERSON for conversions. Lemony Olive Oil Zucchini Bread Makes 1 loaf Ingredients: 230 g (1¾ cups) all-purpose flour ½ tsp ground cinnamon 3 g (1 tsp) kosher salt 3 g (¾ tsp) baking powder 4,5 g (¾ tsp) baking soda 75 g (6 tbsp) demerara sugar 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest 100 g (2 large) eggs, at room temperature 110 g (½ cup) olive oil, plus more for the pan 60 g (¼ cup) plain Greek yogurt 1 tsp vanilla extract 400 g (14 oz.) zucchini, unpeeled and grated on a box grater (about 2 small zucchini), thoroughly squeezed The loaf pan used in the book is 4½ × 8½-inch (11 x 22 cm) loaf pan, measured from the top
This looks perfect. My French neighbors find some of my bakes too sweet, so I’m always finding not so sweet recipes. They also find courgettes in sweet baked goods finds funny. I will HAVE to make this!
This reminds me of my grandma's zucchini bread when I was younger. Except she would puree the zucchini with oil in a blender instead of grating it. She would sometimes also mix in crushed pineapple.
I’m definitely not on an olive oil budget but I will try this recipe with a neutral oil. It won’t have the same flavor but I do love that there is less sugar and the zest of lemon
I’ve been pondering a batch of carrot/zuke bread for weeks. This looks absolutely amazing! Thinking of doubling the recipe and instead of double zuke, do 1 zuke measure and 1 carrot. Also gotta use some nuts that are taking up too much freezer space so those will be going in. Love the lemon zest and the light spice of this one! Thanks for this timely post!! ❤
I'm a candle maker and I found an incredible fragrance that smells EXACTLY like zuchini bread. It's now my favorite comfort scent. Obsessed. I love all of Claire's videos but this one is going at the top of the list!!
Hi Claire! I love zucchini bread and I trust none other than your recipes to make for the first time. Thank you for your summery spin on this beautiful classic. x
This is well worth the bake and hits the mark on fresh summer version of Zuke Bread. Although a smidge more work with the squeezing and the zesting, the reward is apparent in taste and look. So scrumptious!
Oh wow. I just saw you use a bench scraper to get the rest of your grated zucchini off the kitchen towel. I think that trick is the gamechanger of the episode for me! Thanks!
I made your recipe today. It was my first time ever making a zucchini bread. Your recipe is incredible. It's perfect. Delicious. Thanks so much for sharing it.
I’m a huge zucchini bread fan and already made this recipe today after watching your video last night 😂 It’s such a special recipe and definitely not too sweet, almost on the savory spectrum and I think it will taste even better in the coming days!
my sister in law loves zucchini bread and I usually make King Arthur's recipe, but I'm super excited to try this one out. I love anything with lemon and olive oil in it 💜💜💜💜
I literally have a plant growing so many zucchinis in my garden the situation is dire. Only so many times you can dice it into pastas-this is perfect to use it up :)
I haven't made zucchini bread in a while and this looks absolutely heavenly!! My mouth was watering when Claire showed that perfect slice, can´t wait to try it out!!
Watched the video and made the cake in the middle of the night. Can confirm, getting rid of the zuccini water is very important. :) Had to add more flour in the end, but the cake still tasted good!
I've always wanted to make zucchini bread but never really looked for a recipe, but this sounds perfect, not too sweet light and moist 😍😍😍 thank you Claire!!
My dad planted a whole pack of zucchini seeds in the garden one year. There was a lot, and I mean A LOT of zucchini that summer. We gave some away, but family and neighbours didn't want to take any more. There was still so much left over. Mom cooked with it, baked it, anything we could do to use it up. Zucchini bread, zucchini muffins, zucchini casserole, roasted zucchini, stuffed zucchini, zucchini fritters. We were eating zucchini every meal for weeks, it was enough for a lifetime. I won't eat zucchini anymore.
love the summery influence of this recipe! i make more traditional zucchini bread that's got warm spices and is sooo comforting, but excited to try a brighter version!
On my 2nd slice of this zucchini bread as I write this comment! Came out exactly like Claire's in the video. Really light and mild in flavor. I accidentally mixed the eggs into all the sugar and missed the step where I was supposed to reserve 2 tbsp for the topping. Still came out perfectly "not too sweet". Next time I think I'll toss in some mini chocolate chips. Thanks Claire for perfecting one of my favorite quick breads!
Ooo I love zucchini bread but the amount of sugar in my fave recipe is... A LOT! Can't wait to try it! PS For me Claire's voice is synonymous with making sourdough. She's a comforting trustworthy guide!
Making and Eating Zuchinni bread for the first time and I’m so glad I did. It is quite delicious. The Zuchinni almost caramelizes and has a slight chew to it. Next time, I’d replace some 1/3 of the total flour with wheat or rye flour. 2 tablespoons of sugar on top felt a little too much for me. Will experiment with just the 1/2 cup of sugar and adding a little Demerara sugar on the top. I also tried making a vegan version of this and it turned out pretty good. Replaced the eggs with flax egg (used soy milk instead of water) and vegan yogurt. If I could double the Zuchinni I would but, gotta look more into it before committing to something like that.
Something else to look for on the olive oil label is acidity. I was raised in Portugal, where olive oil is a staple, and the rule of thumb was that lower acidity is better quality; extra virgin has a maximum level of 0.8%, but I'd be looking for 0.5% or below. Portuguese olive oil has a buttery flavour and Spanish is similar; by comparison, I find Greek olive oil quite bitter, probably because it's not what I'm used to. It's definitely worth trying the produce of different countries and climates to find out what you like best.
Yum! The sugar on top really is such a nice touch. I found out that a tiny line of butter (piped using a sandwich bag with the corner cut) down the center of the bread makes it split down the center. If one wants that symmetrical aesthetic, it's a great tip! 🥰 This bread with some softened cream cheese or butter would be perfect
WARNING: Recipe is wrong in the video title card, it says 3/4 cup AP flour and should be 1 3/4 cup AP flour (according to the description). Didn't realize it was wrong until I got to the assembling step and my dough was way more slack than Claire's.
When i was a kid i didn't know what were the difference between a zucchini and a cucumber. I've always thought they were just different names for a long green thingy 😂
@Claire - just an FYI, the amount of flour in the ingredients list in the video is a cup shy of what is written in the description for the recipe, sadly that was found out by me using the measurements in the video 😢 love your vids and recipes!
@@lucybowerman2697 right?! I thought the same. It baked very bouncy with not a ton of structure but tasted good haha I’ll know for next time to trust my intuition and years of experience 😆
LOL at the sound effect when Claire tossed the paper....which isn't really in her normal character of placing everything specifically. It was a perfect moment. Almost as perfect as "mm m."
That looks amazing! Unfortunately i didn't read the caption for the recipe and the flour quantity is not correct at the beginning of the video. I know that you can't change the yellow card at the beginning, just pin a comment so everyone can see the recipe from the captions. Love your channel!!
My grandmother used to make banana bread for me all the time, and one time she gave me some and said "How was the banana bread?" and I said it was really good and she said "It was zucchini bread" and ever since then she's made me zucchini bread
Greek olive oil is just as good-quality as Italian, if not more (yes I'm 🇬🇷 so biased so sue me lol) - although I don't know if it's just as readily available... Well, either of the 2👌

One time, as a kid, I made zucchini bread when my mom wasn't home and when I told her she said "We don't have any zucchinis." I made cucumber bread. 😂
This is the recipe I needed when my grocery delivery order for a package of half a dozen mini cucumbers substituted full size cucumbers instead.
😂 How did it turn out though??
Ok, but was it good though? I can see it being not too different.
😂😂😂😂😂 cucumber bread hasnt made the trend yet . But wait for it...😂
@@sayadaramdial1700 it was very moist, that's for sure.
claire! i have no one else to share this with but i found a signed copy of dessert person that someone was giving away for free yesterday and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Who would do that?! I’m so happy for you though. Incredible. I would have literally jumped for joy.
“It’s a whole thing” 🤣 I felt this to my core.
Doing a lemony zingy twist on zucchini bread is brilliant!!
Claire, how did you know that I have a GINORMOUS zucchini sitting on my kitchen counter that needs to be used?
she’s in your walls
Exactly what I was thinking!
she is the baking god
Literally the same. Now I know what to do with that zucchini lmao.
SAME, I was just about to comment this! bahahaha 🤣
My grandma and I used to make all kinds of breads together and it was the best part of my childhood 😊😊 thank you Claire ☺️
Chocolate zucchini bread was something my mom always made with extra zucchinis. Look forward to making it again
It was super popular when I was a kid. I like my veggies, have no problem with zucchini, but I totally understand why people got grossed out by little grated green bits in what should have been a decadent chocolate cake.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I just made the recipe and used one and three-quarter cups and it came out great.
Same thing happened to me. 😢 I tossed it however. The texture was too gummy.
@@thekateykate ugh thank you I just made 2 oil cakes 🤦♀️

Perfect timing!! My Zucchini plant is pumping out massive zucchinis everyday
Would love an update on the chickens, composting, and the garden!
I read this as chickens composting in the garden 😢🐓🪦

My husband came home with 3 HUGE, HUUuuUuGE zucchini’s yesterday this is perfect timing Claire! Thank you ❤

Best zucchini bread ever. Loved the lemon zest!
Unreal. I just made zucchini muffins yesterday! I guess I'll have to do some more zucchini baking now. I'm excited about the lemon-y-ness!
Heading to the garden! My weekly"Claire" recipe will be made tomorrow😊.
my sister in law loves zucchini bread and I usually make King Arthur's recipe, but I'm super excited to try this one out. I love anything with lemon and olive oil in it 💜💜💜💜
Love a snacking cake
perfect timing for this recipe claire! i'm drowning in zucchini this time of year
This is such an awesome video. I really appreciate you doing a video on something I grew up eating all summer long.
I literally have a plant growing so many zucchinis in my garden the situation is dire. Only so many times you can dice it into pastas-this is perfect to use it up :)
Can't wait to try it ❤ Looks fantastic!!
This recipe is so good! I love the lemon flavor for summer. I’m pregnant right now and this is really hitting the spot. Thanks for a great recipe!
I haven't made zucchini bread in a while and this looks absolutely heavenly!! My mouth was watering when Claire showed that perfect slice, can´t wait to try it out!!
the savory zucchini bread from the dessert person preorder is truly one of my favorites ever
Thank you for this Claire! I’ve literally been wondering about Zucchini bread the last few weeks. And, here it is! 🙏🏼🥳☀️
My grandma made zucchini bread all the time and would serve it with some butter on top, great stuff
I would also toast a slice and add a pat of room temp butter. Yuuummmmm.
Watched the video and made the cake in the middle of the night. Can confirm, getting rid of the zuccini water is very important. :) Had to add more flour in the end, but the cake still tasted good!
Obsessed with this! I love everything you do! I definitely will be trying!
Just made this, and it turned out wonderful. Thanks for the great recipe!
for claire recreates can you please do auntie anne's pretzels! if you brought us the secret to how they taste so amazing it would be crazyyy
Claire, you're my safe channel. Thank you.
i just love your intro animation so much, its like dessert for my eyes
Just wanted to leave a comment to support the channel.
Made the plum icebox cake last weekend and it was amazing 😊
I wish I could watch Claire bake then order her zucchini bread to my house! (or pecan bars, etc.)
I've always wanted to make zucchini bread but never really looked for a recipe, but this sounds perfect, not too sweet light and moist 😍😍😍 thank you Claire!!
Just made this and LOOOVE it, already planning to make another loaf very soon. Thanks Claire!!
Wow I’m never this early, excited to see how this loaf comes out ❤
You better check the amount of flour, farm queen. I’m pretty sure it should’ve been one and three-quarter cups.
we like toasting on the stove with a decent amount of butter... so good!
Looks great! My recipe comes from a neighbor in Seattle, about 1978. Uses orange zest, so very similar to your recipe.
My dad planted a whole pack of zucchini seeds in the garden one year. There was a lot, and I mean A LOT of zucchini that summer.

f******ck! ruined my loaves
😅
i been WAITIN for this one, TURN IT UP!!!
I’ve been traveling for 2 months now and the first thing i want to do when i get home tomorrow is bake this now
Made it but used Macadamia oil and added a pinch of Cardamom as well as the Cinnamon. It's so nice. The texture is so delicate.
When i was a kid i didn't know what were the difference between a zucchini and a cucumber. I've always thought they were just different names for a long green thingy 😂
This. Was. Bomb.
Well.. I never had it before and now I have made it three times already due to requests after the first. I'd say it's a hit 😁
NZ olive oil is great too ( I may be a little biased 😅). This looks delicious Claire!
Claire should try and recreate the chocolate muffins from the Olympic Village in Paris that are going viral! :)
Thank you!
I am so making this!! thank you!
Ooh I made a chocolate zucchini bread recently! This is going to become a summer staple for me.
I just bought some zucchini over the weekend and I wasn't sure what to do with it. Now I do! 😆
My favorite flavor additions are mace and Orange zest.
Looks good. I just made a cranberry pecan bread. So yummy.
Thinking about making this as muffins....!!!
Portugal and Spain also produce some amazing olive oil!
I just finished making zucchini bread and then I saw this... Im sure mine will be delicious, but this looks even better than what I made.
WAIT I would love to see you bake/cook with your mom!
@Claire - just an FYI, the amount of flour in the ingredients list in the video is a cup shy of what is written in the description for the recipe, sadly that was found out by me using the measurements in the video 😢 love your vids and recipes!
Oh, that's why my batter was thin!

DEEEZZURT PURSAAAAN
If you don't mind me asking, where are your flour, sugar, etc containers from? I love the simplicity of them. Gonna try your bread recipe soon.
HI CLAIRE LOVE THE VIDEO
My mom just dropped off a ginormous zucchini from her yard so I can’t wait to try this!
Only had zucchini bread twice in my life... I'm seated... I'm taking notes...
LOL at the sound effect when Claire tossed the paper....which isn't really in her normal character of placing everything specifically. It was a perfect moment. Almost as perfect as "mm m."
The best way to use up all your zucchini that’s taking over
Is this recipe in the new cookbook? It’s amazing and I need it written out somewhere!
My 2 favorite olive oils these days are California Olive Ranch Arbequina Reserve and Corto Olive Company's Truly Olive Oil.
That looks amazing! Unfortunately i didn't read the caption for the recipe and the flour quantity is not correct at the beginning of the video. I know that you can't change the yellow card at the beginning, just pin a comment so everyone can see the recipe from the captions.

For extra bright flavor swap out the cinnamon. Adding ginger instead gives it amazing flavor. So summer-y.
