To make this recipe you will need to first grate the zucchini. You can find a selection of graters for food here.
Why should you bake with zucchini?
Well, the obvious reason is that zucchini is a healthy squash that is loaded with vitamin C and other nutrients. You may also have an abundance of the zucchini from your summer garden (as I do 🙋♀️) that needs to get used in a recipe.
However, zucchini does have some benefit to baked goods such as this bread.
Not only does zucchini add some nutrients, flavor, and a bit of texture, it also is a good source for moisture.
In this recipe, the zucchini needs to be grated in order to get it to a good size for blending with other ingredients. Once the zucchini is grated into smaller pieces, it can be evenly distributed which will help this bread bake more evenly.
To prepare the zucchini, you can first peel it or wash the skin well. Remove the ends if you are using a food processor or grating by hand. If you are using a spiralizer then follow the directions provided.
Tips for making sugar free zucchini bread for diabetics and low sugar diets.
While some of the water that comes with the grated zucchini is good for moisture, I like to allow for the excess water to drain out. Simply place the grated zucchini on a stack of paper towels or on a clean kitchen towel while preparing the other ingredients for this recipe.
More helpful tips for you.
- Using fresh zucchini is really best when it comes to both flavor and texture. You can leave the skin on for added texture and color if you have cleaned or rinsed it first.
- It is a good idea to prep your loaf pan well for this recipe. You can use both parchment paper and nonstick or dust it with a bit of flour.
- While my recipe uses a basic loaf pan, you can make this in a mini loaf pan or even a square baking pan if desired. You may need to adjust the baking times for the pan as needed however.
How to store homemade zucchini bread.
This bread should be wrapped in plastic or foil or stored in an airtight container. If properly stored, it should keep for about five days at room temperature or frozen for about a month.

Servings: 8.
Prep Time: 10 minutes.
Bake Time: 50-55 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325 and prep a loaf pan well for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper that overhangs the sided of the pan and is lightly dusted with flour or sprayed with nonstick.
- Grate your zucchini using the method of your choice. Then place the zucchini of a clean kitchen towel or stack of paper towels to drain the excess water while you work.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Bake this bread in the center of your oven for 50-55 minutes or until the bread begins to turn brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
