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.
This bread is very tasty on its own and does not need any kind of frosting or icing. You will not need to add any topping as it is moist and buttery. Just the kind of thing that makes hump day a little bit better!
Be sure to pin or save this recipe for later.
The bread is also great for lunch boxes and after-school or after-work snacks.
Easy Carrot Muffins – Perfect for spring! Like a mini carrot cake, but without the frosting.

Classic Zucchini Bread Recipe

3/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups fresh zucchini squash, washed and grated
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pre-heat oven to 350°. Grease loaf baking pan with butter or oil. In a mixing bowl, blend together dry ingredients, butter, and eggs.
Add the shredded zucchini to the dry ingredients.

Makes one delicious loaf. Let cool a little bit before slicing. This recipe may also be used to make muffins.

March 19, 2014 at 6:47 pmYUM! 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!

March 23, 2014 at 3:03 amHi Raquel! I love zucchini and this bread looks wonderful! I like to make parmesan zucchini – my family will eat just about anything if it has marinara and parmesan on it! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing at Best of the Weekend – pinned to our party board. Hope you have a happy Sunday and a wonderful week!
