Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice (or more cinnamon)
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cups shredded zucchini (16 ounces)
- 1/3 cup roasted sunflower seeds, divided
- 1/4 cup sunflower butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and allspice; mix welll with a fork.
- In another large bowl, combine eggs, oil and vanilla; stir in sugar and honey until well mixed. Add zucchini; stir until well combined. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined. Remove 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds and set aside; stir remaining sunflower seeds into batter.
- Divide batter evenly between 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray and lined on the bottom with a rectangle of parchment paper. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
- To make glaze, stir reserved sunflower seeds into sunflower butter and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm sunflower butter in microwave for about 15 seconds on medium power – or until runny enough to drizzle over bread. Drizzle glaze over bread.
