Zucchini Bread Recipe
It’s that time of year for garden zucchini and what better use for zucchini than to make zucchini bread? If you grow zucchini you probably have more of them than you know what to do with. If so, that means its time to give this recipe a try! If you have never had zucchini bread it is very flavorful and moist… Oh and did I mention it’s delicious as well? J This recipe is how to make a basic version of it but you could add many things such as nuts, chocolate chips and many other things. The best part about making this is its very inexpensive, takes little time and is very easy to make. The hardest part about it is grating the zucchini and that only takes a couple minutes tops. Other than that its just mixing ingredients and the oven does the rest of the work for you.

I love cooking bread. I’ve been hoping you’d put some bread recipes up. Store bought bread just doesn’t compare. Can’t wait to try it.
Never heard of Zucchini bread but it does look good. Why is it called a bread as from the ingredients used it could be called a cake?
Russell – Sounds good, Let me know how it turns out.
Ivy – Good question, now you have me wondering the same thing. It’s pretty popular here in the US. I guess it could be easily called a cake as well though (or be made into one).
Awesome looking loaf! This would go over well here!
It turned out good. And yes, I can see how this could be made into a muffin (not too sure about cake). But it was delicious. My family doesn’t eat zucchini but now its part of their daily diet.
Russell – I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
That zucchini bread looks nice and moist and good!
Looks yummy!
Zucchini bread is more like a cake, but is a “quick bread” thus the name
