I’ve got you covered with over a dozen zucchini recipes on this site, from zucchini muffins and zucchini fritters to wholesome zucchini soup. But the recipe that takes the cake, quite literally, is this classic zucchini bread (and, of course, its decadent cousin, chocolate zucchini bread). Despite the generous portion of shredded zucchini in the batter, it mysteriously vanishes during baking, creating a bread that tastes more like a snack cake than anything else. It’s a snap to prepare, and if you’ve got little ones around, it’s a fantastic way to sneak some veggies into their diet. Swap the nuts and currants for chocolate chips, and they’ll be none the wiser while happily asking for seconds!

If you’d like to use chocolate chips instead of nuts and currants, add about 1 cup; just be sure total add-ins (nuts, currants, chocolate chips) do not exceed 1½ cups.

Zucchini Spice Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Begin by grating the zucchini. I use a food processor, but a box grater works well too. There is no need to wring out the liquid.

Zucchini bread can be frozen for up to three months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap, or place in a freezer bag. Thaw the bread overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Lightly toast individual slices for best results.

Much like Banana Bread, this quick bread is even better on day 2!

It is not necessary to peel zucchini when you’re making a zucchini loaf. Zucchini skin is thin and softens while baking and it is not noticeable in flavor or texture in the loaf. The skin also contains lots of vitamins and minerals.

Grate zucchini with the larger size of a box grater or food processor (don’t dice or chop it). You want shreds of moisture in every bite! Once grated, if can be added to the batter, do not squeeze the zucchini dry.

Vegan Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

Like most quick bread recipes, this is easy to make and requires just a few minutes to prep. I line my loaf pans with parchment paper to make the bread extra easy to remove.

Keep zucchini bread on the counter for up to 2 days. It’s very moist so if you’ll be keeping it longer you’ll want to freeze it.

Freezer: Like most quick bread, you can freeze zucchini bread. Be sure to cool completely first. Freeze it in slices wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freezing in slices makes it easy to thaw just as much as you’d like to eat.

Zucchini Bread Recipe

Use the larger side of a cheese grater to shred the zucchini. There is no need to peel it first unless it is a very large garden zucchini with thick skin.
