I used frozen shredded zucchini to make this I microwaved the 2-cup portion for a few minutes until it was just thawed enough to break apart, then did everything else as written. I added about a 1/4 tsp clove and 1/2 cup walnuts. Were thinking chocolate zucchini bread here too. I didnt miss the extra 50 g of sugar that I left out. Is there any reason this would not work with yellow summer squash (patty pan squash)? , Would it ruin it if I added some unsweetened coconut and maybe some mini chocolate chips? I just put my very short-napping-7-month-old down for a nap and decided to take a stab at this. Still eating it as the flavour is excellent, but wondering if I should partly drain the frozen zucchini for next time? Sorry, theres no contest when choosing bread vs fritters! Im going to make my family wait the full 24 hours. The bread was very moist, and I loved the turbinado sugar topping, but it tasted a wee bit vegetal to me probably the result of me using a bit too much zucchini. It is a scootch sweet for my taste as a breakfast bread, but with a little whipped cream it is the perfect dessert. Dont think we have molasses either. Last weekend I had a mishap with my favorite zucchini baked good, Bernard Claytons zucchini basil muffins. I have so far and am wondering if it is necessary or typical to do so. This recipe is perfect and does not suffer by having 3/4 c of chocolate chunks added to it! My question is should I bake the two loaves for the same amount of time (55 60 minutes) the recipe calls for or reduce the baking time? Same temp. After cutting into it two days after baking to serve and still finding it wet, I ended up putting the slices on a baking sheet and back into the oven at 400 to dry out a bit. So many zucchinis! Just made this, and while you may be disappointed to learn that I cut it warm, it is outrageously good! Amen to your approach to meal-planning. I will say that no one wanted to wait until tomorrow to try it, and its half gone now. ultimate zucchini bread. I added the toasted pecans in to the batter and for the second tray of muffins I added in 1/4 c chocolate chips and did not add the sugar topping (these are for today-snacking). I hope its the last zucchini bread recipe you ever need. I know this dirties another bowl but since Im just putting them in the dishwasher anyway, who cares if it makes the mixing easier. As GF baked goods react differently with, among other things, air, Ill test out half the batch left out as per the recipe instructions, half go in the freezer once cooled. I love the natural sweetness of zucchini, and so many bread recipes just drown it out with so much excess sweetener (which, as you point out, isnt even as necessary here for moisture, given the high water content of the veggies). Can you make him sleep in some kind of vise contraption so he doesnt keep growing like this?

I came back to your recipe and consulted the pictures to confirm that yours also looked a bit soupy when you poured it into the pan. I made these gluten free and they came out great! I made it into muffins with flax eggs! Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Thank you!! When you say Leave in pan, unwrapped, overnight or 24 hours I assume you mean out of the fridge, yes? The only problem was that they didnt turn out crisp on top perhaps the shorter cook time prevented the moisture from evaporating. If your concern is gluten, it would be simpler to try a gluten free baking mix that is labelled for 1:1 substitution. I love that it uses so much zucchini. The only way to ensure everyones cup measurements work the same as mine did is by indicating the grater used (box) and size (large). Lets see how this stands up overnight. Perfection!

If so, what bake time/temp modifications would you recommend? My pet peeve of weeknight baking is letting it cool in the pan for a few minutes, taking it out of the pan, then having to wrap it in something which also requires waiting until it is cool enough and doesnt steam itself soggy! Made this just like the recipe indicated (ok, I accidentally added a wee bit too much nutmeg because I wasnt paying attention, didnt make a difference) and its the best zucchini bread Ive ever made. Can you please tell me where I can find a 9 x 5? The second loaf went to two friends and they loved it. Fried rice with zucchini tomatoes and parmesan. Just one other person said it was bland.
