Classic Zucchini Bread
I have been back home now for exactly 1 week and I can’t tell you how many loads of zucchini I have already been given. Between zucchini and tomatoes I should open a road side stand.
Of course I am not complaining! Over the years I have accumulated some amazing zucchini recipes. I didn’t know there were so many different ways you could cook, bake or grill zucchini.
I guess you can never have too many recipes!
This zucchini loaf recipe was given to me by my mother and every year that I make it I think it gets better and better. It is so easy and don’t forget you never squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini.
It is so moist and delicious.
Zucchini Loaf
I remember the first time I made it for my in-laws, and my father-in-law who is not a great sweet lover was so impressed with this loaf, he could not believe it was made with zucchini.
When I make this zucchini loaf I usually make it plain because as they say less is more and in this case it is so true.
This is the perfect partner with a cup of coffee or tea, great for breakfast or an afternoon snack. The perfect zucchini loaf, fast easy and so tasty. Give it a try. Enjoy!

I made it with lemon-infused olive oil and added a carrot that had gotten too lonely in my vegetable drawer with a tablespoon of maple syrup. It was amazing! Thank you for the recipe!

Made this today with a glut of courgettes, confess I threw in a handful of walnuts but agree that left as the recipe stated would have been perfect. Thank you for the recipe, a keeper

I made this recipe for Zucchini Bread other than my usual tried and true recipe I’ve made each year at harvest time. I tried this recipe that I found online because I couldn’t find my recipe book for all the “favorites” I have ALWAYS baked each year because I have a very picky eater ( my hubby Lance) that expects the same thing each time I make anything. Forget about ” new” recipes. But I snuck this one by him and all he said was ” I thought you peeled off the skins of the zucchini?” I just laughed and thought to myself that your recipe is now going into my ” favorites ” recipe book and I will definitely be using it from now on ! Thank you so much for the easy ” Classic Zucchini Loaf” recipe. It will be used each year in our home at harvest time to make these yummy desserts . B
