    I’ve been making zucchini bread since I moved out on my own, which was a bazillion years ago. I feel virtuous eating it because it has great ingredients that make it chock full of flavor.

    Oh! And did I mention it’s delicious?

    My mom loved my zucchini bread and I miss giving her a loaf when I visited her. What is your favorite quick bread to make and eat?

    Helpful tips

    • If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a hand grater to shred the veggies, just know it will take a lot longer.
    • For the purpose of this recipe, I shredded the veggies separately but you can shred them together; just make sure there is more zucchini than carrot.
    • I use sprouted spelt flour in a lot of my recipes because I prefer it, but you can use white all-purpose flour instead. This recipe even works well with whole wheat flour.
    • If you haven’t made zucchini bread before, just know that once you mix it, the batter may look a little dry. If so, let it sit for up to 5 minutes. Zucchini is a watery vegetable and will let go of some moisture in that 5 minutes. Don’t worry, your batter won’t be too watery.

    How to make zucchini bread

    Pre-step

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, liberally grease a bread pan and get a large mixing bowl.

    Step one

    Gathering the dry ingredients – spelt flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, chopped walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg. (A)

    Flour, sugar and baking soda on the left and all the ingredients in a glass bowl with a pastry blender and nuts on the right

    Step two

    Add to the mixing bowl (B) and combine the ingredients either by using a whisk or a pastry blender. (C)

    Step three

    Gather the wet ingredients – zucchini, carrots, eggs, oil and vanilla. (D)

    The dry ingredients mixed together in a glass bowl with a glass measuring glass with shredded zucchini and carrots, and eggs, vanilla and oil

    Shred those veggies

    Step four

    Place the shredding blade on your food processor and shred the zucchini and carrots. I ended up using 1 large zucchini and 1 large carrot. (D)

    Step five

    Put the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients (E) and mix them together with a spatula.

    Step six

    Pour the batter into the greased bread pan. (F)

    Carrots, eggs, oil, vanilla and nuts added to the dry ingredients on the left, and a bread pan filled with the bread batter

    Step seven

    Bake for 50 minutes. As everyone’s oven is different, test it at 45 minutes just to see if it is ready, but I find it needs the full 50 minutes. The tester should come out clean.

    Let the loaf rest in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing it and placing on a wire rack to cool fully.

    All that is left is to slice it up.

    And butter it.

    And eat it.

    Yum.

    I hope you enjoyed this easy zucchini bread recipe!

      Delicious + moist = perfect!
      I used sunflower oil instead of olive, and pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts (what I had in my pantry). I also added some (maybe 1/3 cup? didn’t measure) dried cranberries – Yum! 🙂

        Thanks Heather! Me too. I like that it has carrots and I feel that the cinnamon makes the bread taste scrumptious.
