Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup packed light brown sugar
Fruits & Vegetables
  • 1 cup grated zucchini

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater and set aside.
  3. Dice the strawberries into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well for 1-2 minutes to incorporate all the ingredients.
  6. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the wet ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Mixing & Baking
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully combined, with no dry ingredients remaining.
  2. Toss the diced strawberries in a tablespoon of flour, then fold in the zucchini and strawberries gently into the batter.
  3. Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  5. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
