Zucchini Bread

November 12, 2019 by Krystal Leave a Comment

Zucchini bread is such a delicious and easy treat to make. Even those who hate zucchini in my house love this bread! It is dense and sweet and perfect smeared with butter.

My mom frequently made zucchini bread for us when we were growing up. She always tells stories of how you had to lock your car doors so people wouldn’t give you more zucchini every summer! Even when nothing else grows it seems like zucchini is always bountiful.

Zucchini freezes beautifully. I use my food processor to grate up most of the zucchini we were given and then package it in 2 cup portions in quart size freezer bags. Make sure to squash the bag as flat as you can. Close up the zipper at the top except a centimeter or so and then squeeze the rest of the air out. When you thaw out the zucchini for making bread just drain the excess liquid before adding it to the recipe.

I love making two loaves at once so I can freeze one to have another day. This bread is great to take to a potluck or to a friend. It is perfect for breakfast or for an afternoon snack.

It is easy to make mini loaves from this recipe just use mini loaf pans and bake for closer to 20 minutes depending on your pan size. They make lovely gifts for teachers and friends at the holidays.

An important note about this zucchini bread recipe is that even though it is hard to wait, it really is better to eat this the next day. The flavor is so much better and the bread is so moist and delicious. It will be worth the wait, I promise!
