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.

    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!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 medium zucchini
    • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • pinch salt
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts)
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ( I use corn or sunflower oil) (78 grams in total)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions
     

    • Pre heat oven to 350 F (180 C) and grease and flour a 9 x 5 inch (22 x 12 centimeter) loaf pan.
    • Shred the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture.  Set aside.
    • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and pecans.
    • In a medium bowl add the eggs and beat slightly with a fork, then add the vegetable oil, zucchini and vanilla.  Combine with the fork.
    • Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined (approximately 18 stirs).  Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 55 – 50 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.  Let cool before serving.  Enjoy.

    Notes

    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.

        Outstanding! I added a 1/2 cup of currants and made muffins instead of loaf and received rave reviews. Thank you for a great way to use summer’s bounty.
