Got this from my friend Judy, it's the best zucchini bread recipe i've found so far. Serve for breakfast, a snack or dessert. It's great with butter, plain or cream cheese. We are not fans of nutmeg, BUT this recipe is the exception.

How To Make judy's zucchini bread

  • 1
    You will need 2 Cups of grated zucchini. IF you are using an 8-10 young zucchini, there's no need to peel or de-seed. IF they get away from you and you have a baseball bat sized one, just peel it lightly, cut it in half and remove the seeds.

    Combine and mix wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl.....you can beat the eggs and add separately. i just usually add them 1 at a time and let the mixer do the work. The grated zucchini is considered a wet ingredient. Set aside.
  • 3
    In another large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir to mix.
  • 4
    Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until well combined.
  • 5
    IF you are using nuts, now is the time to add them, stir them in. It's just as good with or without. We have a lot of nut allergies, so I usually leave them out, or maybe just add to one loaf.......I especially like pecans or black walnuts in this.
  • 6
    Spray or butter 2 loaf pans well. I use Baker's Joy. It will stick if you don't. Bake at 350* for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan, 5-10 min and remove to wire rack.

    This freezes well. If you are over-run with zucchini, grate and freeze it in 2 Cup amounts. Thaw in a colander and squeeze/press the moisture out. You do not need to squeeze the moisture out of the freshly grated zucchini, although i do usually let it hang out in the colander for a bit, while i'm mixing everything else up.
