  • The main problem with zucchini bread is that it isn’t banana bread, or carrot cake, which is what it’s often unfairly compare it to. However, this easy recipe has something those two don’t. Some mystery. Banana bread tastes like bananas, and carrot cake tastes like cake, but zucchini bread tastes like…we’re not exactly sure, but it sure is delicious. Enjoy!

    Chef John changed my life. Not only my cooking skills have improved but I am also becoming a better person just by watching his videos. And my friends and family have a much happier life eating delicious foods inspired by Chef John's recipes. Kind Regards from a polish guy leaving in Germany!

    Made 2 zucchini "bread" pans on 6/20/2023 according to Chef John's recipe and both turned out GREAT in spite of the fact that I was talking to my daughter on the phone and got sidetracked with the melted butter in the microwave. I had already put the bread in the oven when I realized I left out the butter; but I stirred it into the batter freely measuring the amount. Thanks so much Chef John!

    I keep my zucchini in the freezer until after Thanksgiving. I like to bake my zucchini bread in wide mouth pint mason jars and put lids on them as soon as they come out of the oven so they seal as they cool down. It's a great way to package a homemade edible Christmas gift. If you give it a try, spray the inside of your jars with non-stick cooking spray and don't fill them more than half full. They have to be wide mouth jars or you'll never get the bread out of the jar in one piece.

    I LOVE zucchini bread! But I'm gonna stick to my own recipe that omits the nuts, I've perfected it to my own tastes and I simply can't give it up. It's so, so good.
    Also, fun food fact: that bitterness you mentioned is due to a chemical called _cucurbitacin._ And yes, it's mostly found in cucumbers, where it gets its name. That same compound is why you tend to get a tummyache if you eat too much raw cucumber or zucchini, and even watermelon.
