Ingredients & Substitutions

Zucchini can be grated ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. For a gluten-free version, substitute whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also replace walnuts with pecans or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.

Tips & Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can add a few tablespoons of non-dairy yogurt to the batter.
  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel to prevent the bread from becoming too wet.

Recipe Variations

  • Add chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
  • Incorporate dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for added flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store the zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If freezing, ensure it's tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
