Zucchini Bread

Hi Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Happy hump day! We are almost to the weekend. I saw that zucchini squash was on sale at the market this week so that was about all the excuse I needed to make this Zucchini Bread. It has been a little while since I have made zucchini bread and I love it so I am not sure why.

It is one of those recipes that I do not think about too often unless I have an abundance of zucchini.  Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables because it has such a great taste no matter how it is prepared, and it is good for you.

So today I am celebrating hump day by sharing my Classic Zucchini Bread Recipe.

 Just the kind of thing that makes hump day a little bit better!

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

  • This recipe is so easy to make and you can make the dry ingredient base ahead of time and just add the zucchini and wet ingredients.
  • You can freeze the shredded zucchini in an airtight container until ready to use. This is a great way to store zucchini if you have it in abundance. 
  • You can double the recipe and make two loaves. Just wrap and freeze in an airtight container. It should last 2-3 months.

    YUM! This sounds so fantastic. My grandma used to make zucchini brownies, which were out of sight delicious. Everyone ate them, even the people who hated vegetables. I think the zucchini gives baked goods really good moisture.

    Thanks for sharing on Hump Day Happenings!

    Delicious! I'd love to add Anise seeds to it and toast it for breakfast. The first picture made me crave it really bad 🙂

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
