What to do with tons of zucchini? Make bread!
When your zucchini begins flowing in from the garden you ocasionally miss one or two of them. I missed this monster the other day. I had no choice but to make zucchini bread out of it. Once a zucchini reaches a certain size it’s not very good to eat. But it’s really great to shred and put in bread, brownies, etc. Yum. Check out how big that zucchini was.
Crazy that this zucchini was hiding from me. I never saw it. When I cut it to take it in the plant fell down. It was being propped up by the zucchini. LOL My kids and family have happy bellies.
Check out my Zucchini Bread recipe below.
- 3 eggs
- 1 c vegetable oil
- 2 c sugar
- 2 c grated zucchini
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 c all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cloves (i didn't have and left it out, tastes great without it)
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1/4 c nuts (left out)
- Beat eggs until light and foamy. Add oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla. Mix lightly but well. Mixing lightly add dry ingredients that you already mixed together. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans and bake at 325* for one hour. After out of the oven for 10 minutes ease off the sides of the pan with a fork and put a plate on top of the pan and invert them both so that bread slides out onto plate. Let cool. Eat. Repeat with more zucchini.
Oh it was so good. Have leftover zucchini this is a great way to use it. Freeze it to be included in bread and brownies. If you use it in brownies the zucchini replaces the oil. Zucchini is very moist and rich in water content.

I love making zucchini bread. I made quite a bit last year from all the farmers that live around me and my cousins giant garden. I wanted to plant some of my own this year but we had only so much space.
I love zucchini bread and it is a great way to add some veggies to the kids’ diet without the complaining! Thanks for the great recipe to try.
I love your picture of the bread, it looks so clear and pretty that I just want to eat it off your blog! LOL. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
That zucchini bread sounds amazing!! I haven’t had zucchini bread in ages!
That does sound like a tasty twist on bread. Great linky.
My great-grandma always baked homemade zucchini bread, with hand-picked zucchini from the garden. I’m trying to grow my own zucchini this summer! We’ll see how it goes. 🙂
OMGosh!!! That looks delicious, and that IS one massive zucchini! I alwasy loved banana bread. Then I was introduced to zucchini bread. Now, I like it way better and never make banana bread anymore. LOL!
You can see the yumminess baked inside! I will have to make this this weekend!
I’m usually not a fan of zucchini bread but that does look pretty good! I’ll pass this recipe on to my mom, too.
That is a beast of a zucchini! Now I’ll crave zucchini bread all night long…

I think zucchini hide on purpose. I have this feeling they are going to take over the world.

I have no made zucchini bread before. But now that I have a great recipe, maybe I will. Thanks!!
I love zucchini but haven’t tried zucchini bread. I think it’s because I dislike banana bread so I’m automatically turned off.- but it looks really food!
That is a huuuuuuge zucchini! I have always loved homemade bread- but have always had to rely on someone else sharing theirs!
I love making zucchini bread! My favorite zucchini bread also has chocolate chips, it’s so good!
It must be pretty incredible tasting if they were arguing about what kind of bread it was. I’ve never tried zucchini bread in my life. I’ve got to fix that!

I’ve had this only once and never again. That’s sad, right? I need more zucchini bread in my life. We all do. Tweeting this!
I simply adore Zucchini bread. One of those garden veggies that you cannot find enough awesome recipes for, even if it is overgrown.
Looks awesome! I Would give this a try for sure. I’ve never cooked my own bread before!

Mmm, I love Zucchini bread but I have to say, I always put nuts in mine. I like the crunch.
My mom used to make chocolate chip zucchini bread when I was growing up when our garden produced zucchini! I love your recipe…cinnamon is a favorite spice in this house!
