Tips for Making Zucchini Bread

If you’ve never made a recipe like this before, here are some tips to get you started. If you’re an accomplished baker, scroll down.

Choose Zucchini Wisely

Not all zucchinis are created equal when it comes to bread. Look for medium-sized ones that feel heavy for their size. These tend to have the right moisture content – not too watery, not too dry.

Grate it Right

Use the large holes of your grater for the perfect zucchini texture. It should be fine enough to distribute evenly but not so fine that it disappears into the batter. No need to peel the zucchini; the skin adds color and nutrients.

Drain But Don’t Dry

After grating, let the zucchini sit in a colander or wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and give it a gentle squeeze. This removes excess water that can make the bread too soggy. Just don’t overdo it – the moisture is also what makes the bread deliciously moist.

Quality Ingredients Matter

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially true for ingredients like flour, eggs, baking powder, and any add-ins like fruits, nuts, or chocolate.

Don’t Overmix

When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until they’re combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense, tough bread because it develops the gluten too much.

Test for Doneness

Use a toothpick or a skewer to test if your bread is done. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, but not raw batter.

Remember, baking is as much an art as it is a science, so feel free to this recipe to suit your taste. Here’s what you’re going to need for this amazing zucchini bread.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 cups flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup corn oil
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon vanilla

Feel free to stir in nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, or a swirl of cream cheese to add texture and flavor variety to your bread.

This bread tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it moist. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

After wrapping in plastic, you can either wrap the bread again in aluminum foil or place it in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing to prevent ice crystals from forming. It will keep well in the freezer for about 2-3 months.

We love warming it up with a dab of cream cheese. It also makes a great gift.

I wrapped the second loaf and gave it to my in-laws who were feeling under the weather. I’ll be making more this holiday season for sure. Get the printable recipe below:
