    If you are baking you are going to also want to make my recipes for almondina pistachio and dried cherry crisp thins, almondina mixed nut raisin thin cookie crisp, easy cherry pie bars, peanut butter blossom cookies and serve everything with sous vide cold brew coffee.

    What is a quick bread?

    Just because a bread is called quick does not mean that it comes together quickly or is baked quickly. Quick bread is referred to as 'quick'  because it does not require kneading or rising time. The levener in quick bread is usually baking powder or baking soda, which, when combined with moisture, starts the rising process immediately. In the case of double-acting baking powder, oven heat caused a second burst of rising. Eggs can also be used to leaven quick breads. *source: The New Food Lover’s Companion. Second Addition.

    How do you serve zucchini bread?

    If you can wait for the bread to cool enough to cut it, I love to serve zucchini bread warm and sliced thickly. I am a big fan of slathering butter, cream cheese, apple butter or and combination of the three on the bread. Another treat is to pop thick slices of bread in a toaster or toaster oven and get a nice crust on the slice.

    ❄️ Storage Tips

    If there is enough bread leftover to store wrap the bread in plastic wrap, place in a zip top bag or a closed container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you are freezing your bread be sure to do a double wrap of plastic, foil or use a vacum seal system before you freeze the bread. Use within 6 months.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Can you freeze zucchini bread batter?

    Sometimes you get so far in your day and the baking of the bread is not in the cards for the day. The answer is to freeze your zucchini bread batter to bake at a later date. To freeze zucchini batter, liberally grease a loaf pan and fill as you would for baking. Freeze solid. Pop the frozen brick out, wrap in plastic wrap and a zip-top bag. To thaw, remove the wrapping and place back in the loaf pan. Allow thawing overnight in the refrigerator.

    Can you grate zucchini ahead of time?

    It can be a time-saver to grate zucchini ahead of making the zucchini bread. Store in one cup portions in a zip-top bag or a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Drain off any excess moisture before using in the recipe.

    Do you have to peel zucchini for zucchini bread?

    There is no need to peel the zucchini for zucchini bread. I do remove the seeds before grating the zucchini. For a single batch of zucchini bread, a box grater or hand grater could be used. But for large batches, I recommend a food processor with a grating disk attachment.
