A moist and easy Zucchini Bread filled with pecans. The perfect snack or dessert bread. Make the best sweet loaf recipe with summer fresh Zucchini.

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?

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.

How to store it

Store the baked cooled bread tightly wrapped and or in a airtight container or bag. It will keep at room temperature for approximately 3 days, if you house is too warm then it should be refrigerated. It will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge.

How to freeze it

The completely cooled bread can be frozen, place in a freezer safe bag or container. It will keep for up to 2-3 months in the freezer. It can be thawed either on the counter or in the fridge.

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!
