Zucchini Bread is a moist, scrumptious treat you can enjoy any time of the day. Like bananas, apples, and carrots, zucchini is one of those healthy add-ons to a well-known dessert. This recipe is jam-packed with a few different spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and all-spice that would subdue the zucchini flavor. You would barely taste the zucchini at all! So, why add zucchini? It’s the secret in making your bread so moist. Zucchini is packed with water that it essentially provides rich moisture to your bread. 

Now, there’s no need to be intimidated by the number of ingredients this recipe requires. Rest assured, the outcome is worth all the trouble. A way to lighten your load is to prep your ingredients ahead of time. You can grate your zucchini and place them in the fridge until it’s time to bake. That way, it saves you the hassle and still keeps them fresh. 

This zucchini bread recipe is also an opportunity to sneak some vegetables in your children’s food. Sugary yet healthy recipes like these have you worrying less about what goes inside their bodies. We also offer the option of a Crockpot Zucchini Bread for those who are looking for an alternative to the oven. Now let’s head on to the recipe and start baking!

Tip: A box grater is a great investment. It allows you to have a firm and steady grip while grating.

This zucchini bread is loaded in sugar and spice that would have you sneaking a few bites more!

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t have an 8×4 inch loaf pan. What other pan sizes can I use for zucchini bread?

You can also use one 9×5 inch loaf pan, a standard size used for banana or carrot bread.

What is applesauce?

Applesauce is made from cooked down apples using water or apple cider. It can be a great replacement for oil or butter and keeps moisture at bay.

What is wheat flour?

Wheat flour contains gluten that is able to hold the structure of the bread, especially with this recipe’s moisture content. We suggest trying our gluten-free crockpot bread recipe if you’re looking for gluten-free bread.
