This recipe makes a single beautiful loaf of walnut studded zucchini bread. And a sizable one at that. For years I would load my zucchini bread batter with all manner of zest, spice, and whatnot. But that’s not how I roll anymore. Over the years I began to prefer this pared-down and more minimalist version. Moist, just sweet enough and loaded with toasted walnuts inside and out, it has a sweet nut-crusted top, requires just one pan and is a rustic stunner. If you’re looking for a go-to zucchini bread recipe, give this a shot.

A Few Zucchini Bread Tips<\/h2>\n

Pre-grate & Freeze Excess Zucchini<\/span>: When you have more zucchini than you know what to do with, grate it and divide 2 1\/2 cup portions into freezer bags. Thaw and use with this recipe later in the year.<\/p>\n

Too Much<\/span>: If you’ve baked more zucchini bread than you can eat, slice it, divide with parchment paper, and freeze in baggies. When you’re ready for it, thaw and toast (or toast in a pan with a bit of butter).<\/p>\n

Accurate Baking Time<\/span>: A cake tester is important here. This is a big loaf and you want to make sure the interior is cooked though. If cake batter is visible on your tester keep baking in 7-10 minute increments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yellow Summer Squash Are OK Too<\/span>! You can basically use any summer squash you like here. Classic green-skinned zucchini are most typical, but you can also use eight-ball squash, patty pan, crooked neck squash, etc. I like to leave the skins on all of them for the color-flecks they lend to the batter. One thing to keep an eye out for is any squash that has developed seeds. Just scoop those out prior too grating.

Variations<\/h2>\n

My Special Zucchini Bread<\/span>: This is the more maximalist version of zucchini bread I’ve featured here since 2008. To the batter add: the zest of 2 lemons, 1\/4 cup poppy seeds, 1\/3 cup finely chopped crystalized ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon favorite curry powder. So fragrant!<\/p>\n

All the Zests Zucchini Bread<\/span>: Add the zest of 3 limes, 2 oranges, and 3 lemons. Consider swapping almond extract for the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

Basil & Lemon Zucchini Bread<\/span>: Add 1\/3 cup chopped fresh basil and zest of two lemons to the we ingredients. You can use Italian or lemon basil.<\/p>\n

Zucchini Oat Bread<\/span>: An idea I haven’t tested yet, but want to mention it in case someone wants to give it a try. Swap 1\/3 cup of the flour for old-fashioned oats.<\/p>\n

Raz el Hanout Zucchini Bread<\/span>: I’ve baked a delicious version using a\u00a0Raz el Hanout spice blend, highly recommended! Just add 1 tablespoon of Raz el Hanout to your dry ingredients.<\/p>\n

Zucchini Bread Muffins<\/span>: Yes, you can make muffins! Fill lined muffin tins 2\/3 full – 3\/4 if you\u2019re living on the edge! And bake until golden and cooked through.

More Zucchini Ideas<\/h2>\n

If you have a garden that is anything like ours, it’s putting off an incredible number of zucchini right now. Take a look at these zucchini recipes. I’ve been trying to come up with more recipes that put a real dent in the zucchini supply. So far, this Pasta with Smashed Zucchini Cream<\/a> is a favorite, and this Grilled Zucchini & Bread Salad<\/a> is perfect for summer & using up extra sourdough at the end of the week. And we love this Simple Sauteed Zucchini,<\/a> especially with a little side action of this favorite pesto<\/a>.
