Easy zucchini bread that is so delicious and full of goodness. This bread is a great way to use up summer zucchini and makes a delicious breakfast or snack. Spread with butter or jam and enjoy with a cup of herbal tea or milk.
A Personal Favorite
Today I am sharing with you a great recipe I’ve been a little selfish with. I have been blogging on this blog for years and have yet to share this one simple zucchini bread recipe that happens to be my favorite.
Mmmm…fresh sweet moist zucchini bread with a little butter melted over… one of my favorite snacks and breakfasts.
Recipe Makes Two Loaves
Another perk of this yummy zucchini bread recipe is that it makes two loaves. One for me and one for a friend. Service in a snap. People pretty much think you are the best ever when you drop by with a warm loaf of bread.
Here are a few steps to making this easy zucchini bread…
1. Take your fresh garden zucchini (I wish, mine is market fresh) and grate, using a box grater, to make a beautiful mess. You will need two cups.
Pro Tip:Â One large zucchini or two small zucchini = 2 cups grated.
2. Combine zucchini in a large bowl with the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and other goodies). Mix until just combined. Â Don’t over mix.
3. Pour into 2 prepared loaf pans and bake!
4. Bake at 325 degrees for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
A lovely quick bread. I hope you enjoy, now that I have broken down my walls, and shared with you my simple zucchini bread recipe. It’s an old friend of mine, bake it nicely.
Alterations
- Add in one cup pecans, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips.
- Create a crumb topping by combining butter, brown sugar, and flour and adding to the top of the batter before baking.

My best friend’s mom used to make zucchini bread all the time and I’m so excited to try it now and bring it when I visit next time (:
Isn’t it awesome how food brings back memories :) This really is a great zucchini bread and simple too. Good luck Kolya! Thanks for your comment!
First time trying Zucchini bread. Found your recipe and I did one pan loaf and about 17 muffins and the bread came right out of the pan onto the cooling rack, looking perfect!! I can’t wait to taste it. They made the house smell amazing too while they were baking!!
This bread is amazing! I have messed up every recipe i have tried except this one. So easy, simple and delicious. One pan to wash! Love that it makes two. Thanks so much for sharing!
YAY!! so happy that you love it!!
This recipe is great and best of all super easy to make. I choose this one because it says to just add everything in the bowl and then use a mixer. Made 2 going into this labor day weekend and 2 in the oven now. This will be my go to recipe from now on.
Well this will be the first time ive missed up zucchini bread. I had to MIX it BY hand, and i forgot the sugar. I used to make it a lot in the mid 80’s and a few times in the early 90’S. I couldnt find the receipe i had back then. Oh well maybe this loaf wont be too bad.
This zuchinni bread is our family
can you add chocolate chips to this reciep, if so how much would you throw in?
OMG! Fabulous! Easy although I cooked for 1hr 10 minutes. PERFECTION THANK YOU
Hi… did you peel the zucchini before you GRAtedd it?
you can, but you dont have to! we dont :)
does zucchini have seeds? if not, i just put cucumber bread in the oven! what i used looks like a zucchini. it was picked up laying on a table with a “free – take one or two” sign.
My first time making it. I like it. My family loves it.
Perfect crust, moist inside, delicious!
I didn’t know how far to fill the pan up with Better. Could you please tell me?
The batter should be divided equally between two 9 inch pans. About 3/4″ from top of the pan.
A little too sweet. Can i reduce sugar without affecTing outcome? I use raw sugar. Must it be white sugar?
You can certainly adjust the sugar to your liking. Raw sugar is just fine.
Hi! I am more on the savory side… Can i make it savory? Without shugar?? And without the vanilla.. And maby i can add insted a bit soup powder and a bit ground pepper…maby even to add fresh dill, 1 tbs or so…what do you think???? Do you think it can work???
I have never made this bread savory, but let me know if you do. Normally quick breads are sweet breads, while yeast breads are savory.
I love this recipe, it’s so easy to make. Can you use carrots instead of zucchini for this recipe?
If I use flour that has baking powder and baking soda included can I eliminate them from recipe
I found this recipe and have made 4 loafs so far, and it is the best, most yummy zucchini bread I have ever had! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding a half cup of cinnamon applesauce for moisture (I am always in fear of making a dry bread). It came out AMAZING and I will definitely be making this again. With zucchini in abundance this time of year I am so excited to find such a wonderful, easy recipe! Thank you!!!
