I love this time of year when I have fresh tomatoes and zucchini overflowing in my fridge! I love to grill zucchini, sauté it, and of course make several loaves of homemade zucchini bread.
Some other favorite recipes using Zucchini include:
Carrot and Zucchini Bars with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
Every time I make this zucchini bread it takes me right back to my mom’s kitchen when I was little. The smell would fill our whole house and I could hardly wait for one of my favorite breads to finish baking! I love this zucchini bread recipe! It’s moist and delicious with the perfect warm cinnamon flavor. (And after you make my favorite zucchini bread recipe, you should definitely try my Favorite Banana Bread!)
Mom's Zucchini Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup oil
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl beat together the white sugar, brown sugar and oil. Add the eggs and mix well. Stir in the zucchini and vanilla. (If the zucchini is really wet when you grate it, squeeze the moisture out with a paper towel). In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Pour batter into two well greased 9x5'' loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes - 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Recipe Notes
* If the loaf is browning too much on top during baking, place a piece of tinfoil over top until it's finished baking.
