Honey Zucchini Bread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Dairy-free, refined sugar-free, hassle-free. This honey zucchini bread is as easy as it gets and helps you sneak in an extra serving of vegetables!

Oh, and did I mention you only need one bowl?

The bread is wonderful right out of the pan, but my favorite way to eat it for breakfast is toasted spread with butter and a drizzle of honey.

Baking with Zucchini

Zucchini is undoubtedly the most popular summer squash and great in so many uses. It is fairly easy to grow, and plentiful. Zucchini-growers are notorious for having extras and finding creative ways to use them.

Baking with zucchini adds extra nutritional value and a great texture to sweet treats. There’s no vegetable taste, so you won’t offend anyone with a sweet tooth. Chances are they wouldn’t even notice the added veggie power.

Many baked zucchini recipes require you to get as much moisture out of the zucchini as possible by wringing it out or letting it rest for a long time. That added step isn’t necessary for this bread, just place the grated squash on a paper towel for a few minutes while getting everything else ready. The natural texture brings extra moisture to the batter.

Making Zucchini Bread

  1. Place the shredded zucchini on paper towels to reduce any excess moisture.
  2. Mix together the wet ingredients: oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add the shredded zucchini.
  3. Place the dry ingredients on top of the wet: flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  4. Mix gently to combine, the batter will be thick. 
  5. Bake and enjoy!
