My favorite thing to do with zucchini is make zucchini bread. SO I thought that I would share my zucchini bread recipe with you.Enjoy!
Bake for ~60 min (this time varies with each oven so you may want to check it prior to the 60 min)
Preheat oven @ 350°
What you need
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup raisins
- 3 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup applesauce
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy
Stir in all the ingredients
Place mixture into 1 large or 2 small greased loaf pans
Bake for ~60 min (this time varies with each oven so you may want to check it prior to the 60 min)Test bread with toothpick. When the toothpick comes out clean the bread is done.
I usually let it cool in the pan on a cooling rack before I remove it.
Then I place the cooled bread into a bread bag (reused of course) and store in the refrigerator.
Zucchini bread also freezes well as does shredded zucchini (so you can make zucchini bread all year long).

Mmm! This is a lot like my recipe. Sometimes I add chocolate chips (decadent, I know) or craisins. I spice mine up a little with cinnamon and nutmeg, much like banana bread.
That is gorgeous! We have tons of zucchini from the co-op, so I want to make some, and freeze a loaf or two.
Why thank you Kathleen. If you lived closer I would gladly give you 1 (or 12). How well do you think zucchini ship? ;-)
mmmmm YUMMY!
Thank you! I appreciate that.
YUMMY!!! I have a recipe for zucchini bread, but it calls for crushed pineapple. I think I will need to try this recipe next time I make zucchini bread. THANKS!!! Geri
OOOOh, your zuchini bread looks so good. My sister made it once with a streusal topping, it was yummy.
Thank you Lisa! I have to say, it tasted pretty yummy too. I had not thought about a streusel topping. I will have to try that next time.
Your welcome Geri. Let me know how it works for you. This recipe says you can use crushed pineapple or applesauce. Applesauce is just easier ;-) This time I used cinnamon applesauce and I really liked the taste.
