I love homemade baked goods. Whether it’s my recipe for Banana Bread or Cream Cheese Danish, I’m a sucker for a bakery-style treat.

This easy-to-make Zucchini Bread is one of my favorites. It’s made in just one bowl, and you don’t need yeast. It’s dense, moist, and is great to enjoy with coffee or tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients Needed For Easy Zucchini Bread

  • Raw Zucchini
  • Eggs
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • Pistachios

How To Prepare The Zucchini

For this recipe, first, you’ll need to grate the zucchini. I use a box grater, but a food processor will work great as well.

Next, place the zucchini in a strainer and press out most of the liquid. You can also place the grated zucchini in paper towels and wring out the moisture.

Can I Leave The Nuts Out Of The Recipe?

Yes, you sure can. You can leave them out altogether or substitute them with pecans or walnuts.

      Hey there Gary!
      Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe! I appreciate you pointing that out, I didn’t catch it before but I just went back to fix it. It should say pistachios not walnuts in the directions. Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy the recipe!
