Shredding zucchini for zucchini bread doesn’t have to be a laborious task! Using the shredding blade of a food processor is the best way to quickly and easily prepare zucchini for your next delicious loaf.

Depending on personal preference, you can shred the zucchini in finer or coarser pieces depending on whether you want it evenly distributed throughout the bread or are looking for more texture.

Another option is to use a cheese grater if you’re looking for something a bit more manual with arguably more control over the size of your pieces.

Preparing zucchini for baking is important to ensure the final product turns out light and fluffy. One of the most effective ways to ensure this happens is to remove excess moisture from the zucchini before baking it.

Simply coarsely grate the zucchini with a box grater, then use a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Squeezing small handfuls at a time and repeating until very little liquid is released will help guarantee that you end up with a delicious result when you bake your zucchini recipe!

Firstly, inspect the skin of the zucchini – it should be a deep, vibrant green color and have some slight ridges along its surface.

Secondly, give it a gentle squeeze to feel if it has developed some firmness – if it’s still squishy and soft, it’s not yet ready to be picked.

Zucchini Bread (better Than Ever!)

Cake mix zucchini bread is the easiest way to make zucchini bread. If you don’t feel like measuring tons of ingredients, but want a delicious treat, this is perfect. You can add a glaze if you want to, but this quick bread is good on its own as well.

This is a great way to use up extra zucchini you either bought or that someone gave to you. In my case, I’m always being given fresh veggies from gardeners and I love it because I can make treats like this.

Easy

Now let’s talk about just some of the ingredients that are in this bread. (The printable list of all ingredients is in the recipe card below.)

Cream Cheese Swirled Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Yellow cake mix: This recipe starts with a yellow cake mix which makes things super easy. It would probably work with a chocolate cake mix or a spice cake mix as well. I used Betty Crocker’s yellow cake mix, but you can use your favorite brand.

Oil and melted butter: You’ll add both oil and butter here because the oil will help give this sweet bread a lot of moisture and the butter adds that yummy buttery flavor.

Vanilla & Cinnamon: It’s always good to add a bit of vanilla as it just rounds out the flavors and helps to make things taste homemade. The cinnamon is the perfect complement to the zucchini and really gives it that spice cake taste but not in an overpowering way.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe

Shredded (or grated) zucchini: This is the star of this sweet bread and it gives it so much moisture. You can just use a box grater and shred it easily that way.

Preheat the oven to 325°F and make sure to grease and flour (or spray) an 8×4-inch loaf pan. You could also use a 9-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients (except for the shredded/grated zucchini) with an electric mixer on medium until well mixed.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with either a few moist crumbs on it or clean, but with no raw batter. (Start checking at about 40 minutes.)

Remove the bread loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on the rack. Make sure to let the bread cool completely before cutting it or the bread may crumble.

Autumn Spiced Zucchini Bread Recipe

You can most likely use any type of 15-ounce cake mix, but I used a yellow cake mix for this recipe. I personally prefer Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix, but Duncan Hines is also good.

Can I use a different flavor cake mix? Can I make this zucchini bread with a chocolate cake mix or a spice cake mix?

Most likely. I find yellow cake mix works well, but a chocolate cake mix or a spice cake mix would probably work just as well and will lend different flavors.

Simply Zucchini Muffins (recipe)

No, just add the cake mix dry and then add the rest of the ingredients listed in the recipe, but not on the back of the cake mix box.

You can use either unsalted or salted butter. I prefer unsalted for baking, but since this recipe only calls for a small amount, either will work. Try to use real butter though and not margarine as the point of adding the butter is to get that rich, buttery taste and margarine just won’t do that.

Yes, it’s a good idea to wash, dry and then peel the zucchini before shredding it. It goes fast if you use a vegetable peeler.

Amazing Pumpkin Bread Made With Cake Mix!

It’s easy to just use a box grater (cheese grater). If your zucchini is large, cut it into 3-4 inch sections (usually that’s cutting the zucchini in 1/2 or into 1/3), then just scrape the zucchini on the box grater. You can use the shred side of the grater or the grate side. Either work.
