Zucchini is so plentiful in the summer--I have been enjoying all kinds of meal creations with it. One of my favorite things to make is homemade zucchini bread. I just love it, especially when it first comes out of the oven all warm and moist. It's quite delicious, especially with a nice cup of English Breakfast Tea. It took a little trial and error for me to get my perfect mix of ingredients that would create a loaf that I was completely satisfied with, but I finally did and would love to share it with everyone.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 Cup Oil
- 3 Egg, Beaten
- 2 Cups Shredded Zucchini
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1/2 to 3/4 Cup White Granulated Sugar (depending on the desired sweetness level)
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 3 Teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS:
- Blend oil and sugars in a bowl until they are well combined
- Stir eggs, shredded zucchini, and vanilla into the oil and sugar mixture
- In a separate bowl mix all of the dry ingredients together
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl and mix until well blended
- Add entire mixture into a greased loaf pan
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes (baking time varies by oven. I start checking my loaf at 35 minutes, by inserting a toothpick into the middle until it comes out clean.)
- Enjoy a slice with a nice cup of tea, coffee, or a big glass of milk!

Wow! That looks amazing and sounds so easy. I am pinning for future baking. Hopefully, next week. :)

I love zucchini bread - I like to think since it has veggies in it, it's good for me ;) Thank you for sharing at All My Bloggy Friends last week. I can't wait to see what you share this tomorrow!
HaHaHa! I like to think the same think the same thing. Thank you for letting me share it and for stopping by. :-)
I LOVE zucchini bread but have never made it. This is going to be on my to do list for 2016.
It's yummy...I do hope you try it! Please come back and let me know what you think. :-)
this looks amazing and delicious ty for sharing with us
I make this zucchini bread for my family every fall and winter. They love it!
Thank you for stopping by, June! I am so glad they enjoy it!! :-)
I haven't made zucchini bread in ages. Thanks for the recipe and reminder!!
The thing about baking is that it is very specific so I am wondering what I can do to make this gluten free and still have the same taste.
You're very welcome! I hope you enjoy! :-)
Hmmmm, that is food for thought (no pun intended). I guess you would have to substitute the flour, baking powder, and vanilla, but to what equivalent? I don't do a lot of gluten free baking, so I'm not 100% sure. There are a lot of recipes for the gluten free zucchini bread online and even conversion charts. Please come back and let me know if you find anything. :-)
I had to print this up. I have a nephew who does not like vegetables and well we have to hide them in other ways for him to eat them. I have made other versions of zucchini bread but I like this version. Thank you
I hope you and your nephew enjoy this recipe, Maureen. He may not even notice the zucchini. :-)
I love zucchini! I could eat it everyday. Your bread looks delicious! This is something I bake because I dont like cooking and I only bake certain things. Zucchini & banana bread are what I love to bake.
Thank you, Sue! I am a huge fan of zucchini, too. Oh and I do love banana bread, lol! I am more into baking than any other type of cooking, so I can totally relate. :-)
I love zucchini bread. My IL's always have an over abundance of zucchini in their garden. But, it's been awhile since I've made any. Will have to try this recipe this summer. Thanks for sharing :)
It's really tasty! :-) I hope you enjoy, Julie!
I love to bake Zucchini Bread for the Holidays. I will definitely try this recipe!
Enjoy, Carla! It's yummy!
Baked Zucchini Bread sounds delicious to have with any dish.
