Okay Kristen, I brought home a scary big zucchini from work, which I made into 15 cups of zucchini-shreds. I froze a dozen cups and made a single loaf of this bread.

I used one cup of sugar and threw a handful of chocolate chips in for good measure.

I will be up late, but the kitchen is warm and the house will smell good.

I’ll let you know how it turned out.

Yes, this is handy for using up the last bits of yogurt in the jar!

Do you have spies in my house? I made 2 loaves of zuc bread last night and zuc chocolate chip cookies – from the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I was just thinking of trying a different bread recipe and here you have saved me the trouble of looking one up.
I have added nuts, whatever’s on hand 2/3 cup, and raisins, 2/3 cup to my zuc bread. This is for 2 loaves.
I like this one that uses yogurt. (4th time was a charm Kristen!) I also used duck eggs last night. These were included in my last order of eggs. Great to cook with.

YES! 350 F is 176.67 C or 180 if you round up. Don’t you wish everything was in metric?

Huh! that IS odd, because usually zucchini is super wet.

I have no idea! Maybe do some googling?

I think bananas would need different spices. More cinnamon and honey. No cloves or allspice. For example my zucchini bread recipe says that you can use pumpkin but omit the vanilla. Good luck!

This looks really good. It’s also a great way to get my kids to eat vegetables sense they only like carrots.
My mom gave me her nestle cook book a few years ago, but I’ve been having a hard time translating it form Spanish to English. Do you know if 180 C is 350 F?

Yum! I’m currently eating a slice of this for breakfast and it is so good! I didn’t have any allspice on hand so I used a dash of nutmeg instead. This reminds me a little bit of coffeecake, but with zucchini. MMM. I haven’t tried a recipe of yours I didn’t like–I think next week I’ll make those zucchini patties and maybe the French bread pizzas (I’ve made your French bread before, but haven’t used it for pizzas).

Your zucchini recipe is just in time for me. I was just given one huge zucchini from a neighbor. It’s too big and tough to use in stir fry, so I was thinking zucchini fritters and bread would be good.

Thanks so much!

I grated some zucchini and there was no liquid to drain, it even sat in the fridge overnight. I made my zucchini bread, much like your recipe and the bread was dry. We have had a wet summer. I think it is the type of zucchini that I am growing. I have made zucchini bread for more than 30 years and never had this happen.
