This zucchini bread is one of my favorite things to bake when the garden is overflowing. Using whole wheat flour gives it a wonderful nutty flavor and a dense, satisfying crumb that pairs perfectly with a warm cup of coffee or tea.

It is such a simple treat to pull together, and I love having a loaf ready to go for busy mornings or afternoon snacks. If you have any extra zucchini on hand, this is definitely the recipe you want to try first.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini

9Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
4
Stir the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients.
5
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
6
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
7
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
8
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

Store your bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for a week. For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze it in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. You can also toss in a handful of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts if you want a little extra crunch.
