Zucchini Bread
This is the best Zucchini Bread I have ever tasted and it is a favorite of my family. I have made the same amazing Zucchini Bread for decades. We use to grow our own zucchini and I made 35 loaves every year. I only made six loaves this year and I bought my zucchini for $1.00 at a farm stand. My kids and just about everyone else goes crazy over this bread. The first loaf is still warm and half gone already as I write this blog! My granddaughter would have eaten it hot out of the oven if I had let her!
This Zucchini Bread can be baked and stored in the freezer for up to one year if you freeze it the following way. After I bake it and cool it completely, I put it in a plastic bread bag, wrap the bag with foil after getting all of the air out and place the wrapped bread into a freezer bag. It has never dried out or gotten freezer burnt this way.
Ingredients
After peeling and cutting the ends off of
the zucchini, cut it into small pieces.
Put the pieces into a food processor or
blender and blend until it turns to a liquid.
Your zucchini will look like this.
In a large mixer bowl,
add eggs and whisk slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk
together the dry ingredients.
Add all of the ingredients to the
large mixing bowl with the egg.
Mix by hand just until the flour is all wet.
Using an electric mixer, blend until no
lumps remain and the batter is smooth.
Using shortening, not cooking spray, liberally
grease the bottom and sides of two bread pans.
Flour the inside of both pans tapping the
excess flour out of the pans.
Divide the batter between the two
greased and floured pans.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 65 minutes or
until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the pans Immediately and place on a cooling rack.
Slice with a knife and enjoy!

Interesting that the zucchini is liquefied. I’ve not heard of doing that before, but it makes sense. It looks delicious laying on the plate!
Thanks Robin it is so moist and delicious this way!
I have a good zucchini bread recipe, but I’ll still have to try this one
Oh please do it has made me family and friends famous! Lol
Zucchini bread looks so perfect and a must try one. I will try this sometime substituting something else for eggs.
Thanks let me know what you use to replace the eggs and how it turned out will you?
Of course Diane.. I will let you know once I get a perfect texture.
My cousin made some the other day and said it was delicious 😋!
Oh it really is! The zucchini makes it so moist. Thanks Jessy!
I’m going to have to try it 😋
Looks yummy
Thank you!
Awesome recipe… great for kids too! Thanks for sharing…
Kids love this one! Thank you so much for stopping by!
This looks so good! I can’t blame your granddaughter for wanting to eat it as soon as possible!!
Thanks Jess!
Welcome!
Aw…this post brought back memories… my mom used to make the best zucchini bread using the large zucchinis the neighbors of my childhood grew in their garden! Thanks for sharing.
I love it when my fellow bloggers have memories from my recipes! Brings a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing that!
MMMMMM! I haven’t had this for years! And I’ve never made it so I will definitely give this a try!!
Very easy to make. It has a great flavor too! Thank you!
Always a favorite at the house! Thank you!
You’re welcome and thanks for commenting Valerie!
It looks yummy. you are very handy with your hand:) thanks for sharing.
Thank you I have made so many loaves I think I could make them in my sleep!
love it
Thank you!
Hmmm… The only way this would last a year is if it got pushed to the back of the freezer! 😊
That was why I had to make 35 loaves a year…lol
I do not recall eating zucchini bread (surprisingly). Looks like a must try healthy choice. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
You will not believe how good this is! It is amazing! I hope you give it a try.
Your advice on how to freeze cakes is timely in my house. I rarely bake as with only two of us it’s too tempting to eat it all. I’ve recently decided though to bake and divide immediately into single portions wrapped in the freezer for a once a week only treat. I’ll try your method of freezing for the portions.
What a great idea Chris! You could slice the bread and maybe put waxed paper between the slices. Then proceed with the plastic bag, foil and freezer bag. It really works as long a you get a much air out as possible.
I cannot get enough of this bread, it’s amazing 😊💗
I know what you mean! My 2 grandkids and I devoured an entire loaf!
It looks good – this is a popular seller when I go to the farm market in the Summer. I think it is a bigger seller than even banana bread.
I definitely would take this before banana bread! Thank you Linda!
That sounds nice – though I don’t really like zucchinis very much.
You really can’t taste the zucchini in this recipe. It just makes the bread super moist. It tastes more like cinnamon bread. I wish I could send you a piece. In all these years I have never had anyone not love this. (If you like cinnamon)
Oh, okay. Hope I can try it one day.
Puree the zucchini…very smart. If I didn’t have such a full week, I’d be in the kitchen right now!
It makes the bread so moist! I hope you give it a try. Thanks Laurel!
I make several different zucchini breads (blueberry zucchini, chocolate zucchini, one with pineapple) but this one looks good too. I will have to try it and add to my repertoire if the kids like it.
Every child that has eaten this has loved it. If they like cinnamon I guarantee they will like it. I love that you use chocolate etc. with yours! What a great idea. My family and friends would kill me if I changed my recipe..lol I will just have to make them and not share…lol
I used to make loaves at the end of the summer and my husband took them everyday for lunch. I had to mix it up so he wouldn’t get tired of it.
Lucky man! My husband likes almost everything I make, but not this. I think it’s more psychological though because he’s not crazy about zucchini…lol I really don’t remember him even trying this…hahahaha
My husband grew up on a farm, so he ate pretty much anything I made as long as it was cooked.
Looks delicious.. Nicely done pureeing the zucchini for added moisture. Fail proof technique!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful bread ! Great way to start a day!!
Thank you Megala! I can’t tell you how many loaves I have made over the years!
Hi, Looks delicious.. Nicely done pureeing the zucchini for added moisture. I make several different zucchini breads but this one looks good too. I will have to try it and add to my repertoire if the kids like it.Thanks for the sharing this.
You are so welcome! My kids and grandkids beg me to make this for them..lol
Excited to try this! I haven’t had zucchini bread in forever and this post reminds me of how yummy it is! I need to stock up on freezer foods too, so I’m definitely making this!
It is an amazing recipe! I just took out a loaf from the freezer because the grandkids are here. Then my daughter had a piece before she left for work. It’s a staple in our house..lol
yum!
Thanks so much!
your always welcome!
wanna eat!
Hahaha I just had a piece for breakfast! I freeze mine and take it out whenever I want that way. Thank you!
innovative. must be nice to have ready at all times!
Yes but that can be dangerous too..lol So easy to take care of a sweet craving.
yeah, i understand. cant keep chocalate at the house
I’m going to have to try this for my grandkids! Looks delicious. I made your cheesy potatoes last night! Huge hit! C
Awesome Cheryl thanks for telling me.
When I made this bread for the grandkids this weekend they ran to the oven and wanted it before I could even get it out of the pan! Then I took a loaf to my son’s Saturday and all but two pieces were gone before we even had dinner. I can’t make enough of this bread.
Beautiful, nice job!!
I have easily made over 100 loaves of this bread in my adult life. Thank you for your nice comment! ❤️
Oooohhh, this looks so delicious! I’ve never made this bread with liquefied zucchini. Can’t wait to try it! So, Diane, did you figure out the new WP editor?
Patty this is the best zucchini bread ever!!!! It was like a swarm of bees when I was taking it out of the oven with the grandkids….lol I took a loaf to my son’s and it was almost completely gone before we even ate dinner.
What I figured out is the new version of the classic block. It’s not perfect but I’m learning. It is close to the classic version I was using but still a bit challenging for me but I can post so that’s all that matters. I need to learn how to fine tune it.
I feel the same way about the new editor. I figured some things out and now I just hope I haven’t forgotten them since I last blogged. 😄
Oh I am so glad I’m not the only one….hahahaha
😆
Ah! Liquefied zucchini! That must be the secret!
It is, it makes it moist and nobody knows it’s in there. Lol
This looks and sounds fantastic, Diane! I can practically smell it baking in the oven. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks Kellye and the house always smells amazing with all the cinnamon in it.
