Moist Zucchini Bread Recipe

2 Mins read

This Moist Zucchini Bread Recipe is so good. Not only is it easy to make, but the zucchini makes it so moist. For me, baking and cooking is a lot more fun when you can use ingredients that are in season. Right now, zucchini is popping up all over in Iowa and I have received a lot of it from family and friends. It always amazes me to see the size of them. I have gotten some zucchini that were the size of baseball bats!!! (Okay, not really, but they were HUGE.)

My daughter has fallen in love with The Food Network and the baking/cooking challenges they have on there. She is always asking to make different recipes from scratch and when I had all of the zucchini on hand, I told her we could make a chocolate zucchini bread from scratch. She was all about it. This recipe is a great one to have your own eager bakers help you with.

  2. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.

My kids loved this. It is a nice break from the regular banana bread we make because I always have over-ripe bananas that I can never just throw out.
