I’m beginning to think zucchini is one of the most “sneaky” vegetables out there. The other night I put it in spaghetti and my kids gobbled it up. Today I baked it in bread and they were none the wiser.
I headed to Allrecipes.com and looked for a recipe that had ingredients I had on hand (no sense making a special trip to the store, I say!). I found this zucchini bread recipe, and it yields two loaves, which is always a bonus.
First, the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and lots of cinnamon.
Next the eggs. Three of ‘em.
Mix in sugar, vanilla, vegetable oil, and then 3 cups of shredded zucchini.
Of course, your cooking will always taste better if you mix in a little love, too.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for about an hour. I hate dry bread, so I started checking mine at 45 minutes in. After an exactly hour, the loaves were exactly right.
We couldn’t wait. I sliced it up right away and the kids and I devoured half a loaf in one sitting!
By the way, ONE zucchini from my garden made both these loaves and spaghetti from a couple nights ago!

Looks delicious!
The cranberry-zucchini bread from Allrecipes.com is out of this world. I used the last of the cranberries I froze last Christmas and wish I had more. I’m going to try freezing shredded zucchini so I can make more this coming holiday season.
I just got a whole bag of zucchini from a friend’s garden and I was thinking about making some zucchini bread! Thanks for the recipe, and most of all, the inspiration!

I LOVE this recipe!!!!!! My only substitution was using cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken. Yum!
That looks yummy! I’ve been looking for a good, simple Zucchini bread recipe. Think I’m going to try it. Glad it everyone liked it.
That is an adorable picture you caught of your daughter checking out her reflection in the mixing bowl!
Thanks for sharing the Zucchini Bread recipe! It’s awesome. I baked a loaf and a few mini muffins (for my daughter) over the weekend and it was delicious.
