This Easy Zucchini Bread Recipe is one that Isabella loves to make; the girl is turning out to be quite the baker! Zucchini is one of those vegetables we love to pick up at the farmer’s market; while she isn’t a zucchini fan, she loves it in bread. It’s a great way to get picky eaters to eat more vegetables.
Now I have a lot of friends who grow Zucchini like crazy, even my brother. However, growing vegetables and plants has never been something I’ve been able to do. We always walk over to our produce stand to pick up our vegetables! We try to get a couple of enormous zucchini to freeze and shred Zucchini to make bread with every year.

How To Make Zucchini Bread:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease two bread loaf pans.
Use a peeler to peel your zucchini and then put them in your food processor, you can include the peel in your bread if you want to. My mom prefers to hand grate zucchini, but I love to throw it in the food processor!
You will need two cups of shredded zucchini. If you plan to freeze it for later use, freeze a bag of shredded zucchini in this amount.
Stir your eggs, sugar, vanilla, and oil in your mixer or mixing bowl. This is one of those recipes I love that my kitchen aid mixer does all the work.
Mix the wet ingredients, and then add the applesauce and zucchini.
Next, add in the dry ingredients, including the spices. (Flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon)
Allow blending till mixed well. The zucchini will stick to your whisk, which is completely normal when you pour this into your bread pans.
This bread batter tends to be runny, so it’s normal to seem liquidy.
Pour into two well-greased and floured loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out dry.
Cool on wire baking racks before storing.
Optional Add-Ins For Zucchini Bread:
To change the flavor of the bread, you can add an assortment of nuts, baking chips, or other spreads.
- 1 Cup Walnuts
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/2 Cup Nutella
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
- Raisins
- Cranberries
- Pecans
How To Store Leftover Zucchini Bread
I keep mine in a Gallon Ziploc and store it this way for up to five days. An airtight container will also work. This bread is very moist, so the bag may get some built-up moisture. Keep at room temperature or in the fridge.
You can also wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Freeze in a gallon freezer bag and store for up to three months in the freezer.
Loaf Bread Recipes:
Baking bread is so easy, and it makes a tasty gift. Making loaf bread is also a great way to get kids started in the kitchen. Quick bread recipes are my favorite! See my full collection of recipes -> here!
