Tips & Suggestions:

Can I freeze zucchini?

Freezing zucchini is a great way to take advantage of the summer bounty and enjoy it all year long! I like to grate my zucchini before freezing it. If you’re going to be freezing a lot of zucchini, using the shredding attachment on a food processor is the easiest and fastest way. Once it’s all grated, use paper towels or clean dish cloths to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Then, portion the shredded zucchini into freezer bags. Most of my zucchini recipes call for about 1-1/2 cups of shredded zucchini, so that’s what I usually put in each bag. Flatten and place in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Can I use this Zucchini Bread recipe to make muffins?

To use this recipe to make muffins, scoop the batter into a greased or paper lined muffin tin. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until an inserted cupcake comes out clean.

How should I store leftover Zucchini Bread?

Wrap leftover zucchini bread tightly in plastic wrap or foil (or use a resealable bag). Store at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Zucchini bread can also be frozen, either whole or sliced, for up to 6 months if tightly wrapped. Allow to thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before enjoying.

Tasty Zucchini Bread Substitutions and Variations:

• Use sour cream instead of greek yogurt
• Replace half of the zucchini with shredded carrots or apple
• Use butter or avocado oil in place of the coconut oil
• Add chopped nuts- walnuts are delicious! You can also try pecans or macadamia nuts
• Add chocolate or cinnamon chips
