I have been making this recipe for Zucchini Nut Bread so long that I almost know it by heart. I still get the old, tattered recipe card out though to make sure I don’t make a mistake…or heaven forbid forget something.
It comes out perfect every time. It doesn’t matter if your zucchini is fresh or frozen. I shredded 4 average sized zucchinis and got 4 cups. I put 2 cups in the freezer to save for later. Back in the day, I shredded the zucchini with a hand grater. It’s so much easier now with a food processor.
I used a Goldtouch mini loaf pan from Williams-Sonoma. I got 16 little loaves of bread. If you use a large loaf pan sometimes it’s hard to get it done right in the middle. My oven is ancient though and with today’s convection ovens the large loaves should bake more evenly. Don’t forget to grease and flour your pans before you pour in the batter.
I know it’s not even mid-August but I’m looking ahead to Fall. Homemade bread, pots of soup, sweater weather, football Saturdays…all things I love about Fall. I know it’s still a good month down the road. Like I said…I’m just looking ahead.

Nothing is better than homemade zucchini bread. Your recipe sounds great. I have not many yet this year, shame on me!
That looks delicious. I haven’t made zucchini bread in ages, but I really like how moist it is so need to give your recipe a try. Great photos of the bread, by the way. I like top-down photos of food too.
That is funny … my zucchini break recipe card is very stained and used, as well.
Fondly,

Yum. It looks delicious. I bet you used to share those loaves with others in the office/school. (I say that because I enjoyed doing the same thing with brownies and muffins. Now I don’t make them because I would have to eat them ALL.)
I love zucchini bread, and another recipe is welcome, as the zucchinis will be rolling in soon!
I love recipes like these… that you know by heart, that it doesn’t matter if they are in great shape, that come out great and feeds the soul. =) blessings ~ tanna
I haven’t made zucchini bread in years. Love the addition of lemon zest in your recipe and making mini loaves. Thanks for the cooking times for different size loaves. Now I’m wishing I had planted some zucchini.

Love the mini-loaves. Great for gifts or to make sure you don’t sit down and eat an entire large loaf. Not that I would do that of course, lol.
I know what you mean about summer/fall….I am cooking a turkey breast for dinner tonight because I need a break from “summer” foods already. My banana bread card probably resembles your zuchinni bread recipe, but it is comforting to have the original on the counter as I make it for the millionth time.
I just made some last weekend….not as cute as yours…might have to buy a mini pan! Do you freeze them for fall? I made some extra to give to neighbor…..sorry to say it never made it to the neighbors (shhh don’t tell)
I’m dreaming for fall and crisp weather and soups!
Happy Tuesday!
Our zucchini is long gone and I didn’t make any zucchini bread this year! Just may have to buy a mini pan because I don’t like it mushy in the center! I bet your addition of the lemon peel really brightens the taste of the bread.
I copied this recipe down, Ann. I love a good zucchini bread and haven’t made any yet this year. MyHero will love this. xo Diana
Ann they look YUMMY!! I’m looking forward to fall too!
Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe! I look forward to trying it out this weekend.
Ann, this looks fabulous and bread like this is always so good.
perfectly baked, just the way I like it! love that little ribbon around it too! Sounds delicious.
I love making zucchini bread and love all the variations on the recipes. Love your mini loaves. I will definitely try you recipe…I brought a bounty home with me from the lake!
XO,
Jane
This sounds like a lovely recipe, Ann. I am ready for autumn, too. I need the routine, and the cooler temps. I am looking forward to completing some projects, cooking, and nesting! :D
I would love some mini loaf pans. I will see what I can find online!
xo,
RJ
This looks so good, Ann. I haven’t made zucchini bread in a very long time. Might have to pick up some zucchini while we are out tomorrow.
Zucchini bread is a favorite around our house. We have one plant in our teeny weeny garden which has produced one zucchini so far. In fact, I just returned from a trip to the store where I bought zucchini to make bread. I will try your recipe this time since it sounds like it would be delicious. Thanks for the recipe.———– Shannon
I am so ready for Fall too, nothing better than a tasty loaf of bread.
