I like zucchini bread. I don't love it like I do pumpkin bread but it gets a high rating from me. Grandma's recipe, this particular recipe has made zucchini bread a little higher on my list of likes. It is moist and full of flavor and doesn't taste like a vegetable. (I'm always afraid of that because I honestly do not like zucchini.)
I cut the recipe in half since I wasn't sure how well it would turn out. I now wish I would have made the full batch.

PRINT RECIPE

Sideways blurry view. The darker ones are the zucchini ginger. |
Bake at 325F for 70-80 minutes. (I baked the mini loaves 55 minutes.) Cool 10 minutes and remove from the pan.
I whipped up some cream cheese frosting to use instead of butter. It was a good choice!
(The Pineapple Zucchini recipe will be posted soon.)
