After greasing and flouring the loaf pan, wrap a paper towel around your finger and wipe clean the top one-inch of the inside of the pan. This keeps the top of the bread from curling up around the edges, allowing it to crown better.
Drain your zucchini through a sieve, but don’t toss the juice. Save it (freezing it in a zipper sandwich bag works great) to toss into stews and soups for added hidden nutrients.
Never over beat a quick bread or muffin batter as it can cause the baked good to be tough. Fold or stir in dry ingredients just until they disappear or almost disappear.
A simple hand mixer is perfect for beating the eggs and wet ingredients, no need for a big Kitchenaid for this recipe. Especially since you will be folding in remaining ingredients by hand.
