Moist Zucchini Bread

I made this Delicious Moist Sweet Bread a couple of months ago and took it over to my sister-in-law’s when relatives were visiting.  My husband’s aunt had mentioned a couple of times that she would love to taste something sweet made with zucchini.

Zucchini bread also surprised my father-in-law when I first made it.  He didn’t like sweets very much but he loved Zucchini Bread.

So when I took it to the house I was hoping everyone would try a slice and I could see what her reaction would be.  She thought the loaf was for her and in her bag it went. Haha!

A few weeks later we went to visit them in Frosinone, so needless to say I asked her how she liked the Pecan Zucchini Bread. She proceeded to tell me that she had a slice or two everyday, and did you know it was delicious with her morning coffee for breakfast?

She also mentioned that her daughter-in-law came over one day but she liked it so much she decided not to share!  So yes I am going to say that this is one of the Best Zucchini Bread Recipes I and a lot of other people say it is one of the Best.

How to make Zucchini Bread

• Shred zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture
• Slightly beat the eggs with a fork, then add oil, the shredded zucchini and vanilla
• Whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and pecans
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined
• Spoon into loaf pan and bake.

I loved adding some chopped pecans to the loaf but you could also use hazelnuts or walnuts if you prefer.

I used a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan but you could actually use 2 small one and freeze one of the loaves if you would like.  Freeze the loaf in a air tight zip lock bag and it will keep in the freezer for at least 3 months.

This loaf really doesn’t need any glazes or frosting it is perfect just how it is.  So just slice it up and serve with a cup of tea or coffee.  Enjoy!
