For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of raisins or chocolate chips to the batter. To prevent the top of the bread from browning too quickly, tent the loaf pans with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. This bread freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 2 months. Make sure you squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded zucchini before adding it to the batter to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Apr 1, 2025The bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, and it was perfect.
