I have tried my hand zucchini bread a few times, varying and tweaking the recipe. I have to say that none of these recipes were worth saving for a rainy day. And then I gave zucchini bread a fall like makeover and we have a winner. It is, drumroll please a – Zucchini Bread with Garam Masala and Molasses. And the bonus here is that making this with winter squash would not be unheard off.
It is moist, well spiced and has a fun component from the cranberries that I have added to the mix. Add in the garam masala is an interesting flavorful twist. It works like a charm.
Just a note on garam masala, there are many brands in the market. I use the recipe from the Spices and Seasons Cookbook. This family recipe offers the right balance of fragrant spices tempered with a touch of cumin. Now, I do not say this to suggest that you need to buy the book for my garam recipes. Although that would be nice! I say this to emphasize that make sure your garam masala is balanced if using it for a recipe like this. While you do not see it here, there is a lot of zucchini action in this loaf. It is what keeps it nice and moist. I have learned (thank you mom!) that draining and squeezing the zucchini gets rid of a lot of the nutrients and flavor. So in this case I kept it in and to good measure.

Just as a note of acknowledgment, the various trial and errors of the zucchini bread recipe, as been inspired by one of my favorite go to blogs, Simply Recipes, and her description calling a zucchini bread – Grated zucchini, mixed into the batter, brings moisture and tender texture to what is essentially a spice cake.
