  • 1 cup organic whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar (for sugar free option, use erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 2 large pasture-raised eggs
  • 1/2 cup organic unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Grater
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 9×5 inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper (optional, for easier loaf removal)
  • Cooling rack

How to Make Zuchinis Bread Recipe

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Grate the fresh zucchinis using a grater and set aside. No need to squeeze out moisture; we want the bread moist!

Step 3:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 4:

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then add the coconut sugar (or sweetener), applesauce, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 5:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 6:

Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips or raisins if using.

Step 7:

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8:

Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9:

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Some Tips!

  • Use fresh, firm zucchinis for the best texture.
  • Don’t squeeze out the zucchini moisture; it keeps the bread wonderfully moist.
  • For sugar free zucchini bread, swap coconut sugar for a monk fruit or erythritol blend.
  • Feel free to add spices like ground ginger or allspice for a different flavor twist.
  • Make it savory by omitting the sugar and cinnamon, adding herbs like rosemary or thyme instead.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover zucchini bread tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the bread wrapped well in foil and placed in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

What to Eat With

This moist zucchini bread pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte or your favorite herbal tea. Thinking of making it a meal? Try it alongside breakfast favorites like English Muffins or with jams served on the side. It’s also fantastic served with creamy spreads or lightly toasted for a crunchy treat, similar to some of my favorite zucchini banana bread recipes or savory zucchini bread twists.

FAQ

Can I use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar?

Yes, regular granulated sugar works fine, but coconut sugar adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor.

Can I make this zucchini bread gluten-free?

You can try swapping all-purpose flour for a gluten-free baking mix, but the texture may change slightly.

How do I know when the bread is done baking?

Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Can I add nuts or chocolate chips?

Absolutely! Walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, or raisins all add great texture and flavor.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep or freezing?

Yes, zucchini bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
