How To Make zucchini bread

  • 1
    NOTE: This recipe is a double-batch, so it will make TWO LOAVES. If you only want one, split the ingredient amounts in half.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 325. Peel and shred zucchini, set aside. Sift flour with salt, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • 3
    Beat eggs until foamy. Add in oil, sugar, and vanilla.
  • 4
    Fold in zucchini.
  • 5
    Add flour mixture.
  • 6
    Turn batter into well-greased/floured or sprayed loaf pans. Bake for 60-75 minutes, depending on your oven. Test center of bread with a toothpick to check for doneness.
  • 7
    Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn onto baking rack to cool entirely.
  • 8
    TIP: When bread is cooled, I wrap pretty tightly with saran wrap, then tinfoil and let them sit on the counter for 24 hours. This makes the bread a bit more moist and the spices bloom a bit more. Serve with soft butter.
