This was always a family favorite growing up. But since I only like french cut green beans and corn, seeing green in my bread was always a little disconcerting! Ha! Ha! My secret to moist zucchini bread is to puree the zucchini. Also, that way, I don't have to see anything green in my delicious bread. Every fall I add pumkin in place of half of the pureed zucchini for a fall favorite everyone in my family looks forward too!

How To Make pumpkin zucchini bread

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • 2
    Puree zucchini. Slice off end where stem was and then cut into small chunks and place in blender until pureed. Unless seeds have become very large, I typically puree the whole zucchini; seeds, skin and meat. When harvesting zucchini from the garden, I set aside amount I need for the recipe and then put 1 to 2 cups into freezer ziploc bags for future recipes. 1 CUP ZUCCHINI IS NEEDED FOR THIS RECIPE. (Regular zucchini bread is 2 cups pureed zucchini - no pumpkin.)
  • 3
    Mix together: Beaten eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla.
  • 4
    Stir in: 1 Cup pureed zucchini and 1 Cup pumpkin
  • 5
    Mix together and then add to liquids: Flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder.
  • 6
    Stir in nuts if desired.
  • 7
    Spray 2 loaf pans and pour batter evenly between pans.
  • 8
    Bake for 1 hour or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10-15 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
