Ingredients and Variations
Zucchini: No need to peel zucchini! Choose squashes that are firm and dark green, without any soft spots or tears. Even yellow squash can be used with zucchini, if available. Extra large zucchini may need to be peeled and seeded.
Batter: These are the basic quick bread ingredients, but you can add a bit more fiber by using a 1:1 ratio of white and whole wheat flour if you like. A gluten-free blend can also be used in place of the flour, although check package conversions for the best results.
Nuts: Totally optional walnuts, pecans, sunflower, pumpkin, chia, or even hemp seeds can be added for a pop of crunch and extra nutrition!
Variations: Make zucchini bread festive by adding crushed pineapple, apple pie spice, and some toasted walnuts or pecans. Toasted coconut, dried cranberries, raisins, or mini chocolate chips can be added.
