Why Make This Recipe

Zucchini bread is a wonderful treat that brings together the natural sweetness of zucchini and the warm spices of cinnamon. This recipe is perfect for using up that extra zucchini from your garden or farmers’ market. Not only is it simple to make, but it’s also a great way to sneak some veggies into your diet. Plus, it’s incredibly delicious and moist, making it a perfect snack or breakfast item!

How to Make Best Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1½ cups cane sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (plus more for the pans)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium, don’t press or squeeze)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (plus more for topping)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease two 8×4 or 9×5-inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add the grated zucchini and fold to combine.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and sprinkle with walnuts. Bake for 40 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops of the loaves spring back to the touch.

How to Serve Best Zucchini Bread

This zucchini bread is best served warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it plain, or spread a bit of butter on top for added flavor. It also makes a great addition to breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

How to Store Best Zucchini Bread

To keep your zucchini bread fresh, let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to slice it first for easy thawing!

Tips to Make Best Zucchini Bread

  • Use fresh zucchini for the best taste. Choose medium-sized ones and avoid any that are too large as they might have more seeds.
  • Do not squeeze the grated zucchini. This keeps the bread moist.
  • For extra flavor, feel free to add some nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.

Variation

You can easily customize this zucchini bread by adding ingredients like chocolate chips, dried fruit, or other nuts. You can also substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.

FAQs

Can I use frozen zucchini?
Yes, you can use frozen zucchini. Just make sure to thaw it and drain any excess moisture before adding it to the batter.

Can I make mini loaves instead of regular-sized loaves?
Absolutely! If using mini loaf pans, reduce the baking time to about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Is it necessary to add nuts?
No, adding nuts is optional. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts, and the bread will still be delicious!
