This is how I like to make zucchini bread. There are about a million different variations—some people like all zucchini and no carrots. I like both. Some people add chocolate, some don’t. I do. Walnuts? Yes. Raisins? No, thanks.
I’ve been making this easy and moist zucchini bread recipe for years, and recently updated the photos here on our blog. Enjoy!

Zucchini Bread Ingredients:
- Zucchini – (obviously)
- Carrots – adds sweetness and texture
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Butter
- Vanilla Extract
- All-Purpose Flour
- Cinnamon – more flavor!
- Baking Soda & Salt – for our quick leavening agent
- Walnuts – chopped
- Chocolate Chips – optional, but I always add them
Do you have to peel the zucchini for zucchini bread?
No. Simply wash the zucchini and then grate it. The only part you may need to remove is the top steam. The zucchini can be used whole, unlike the carrots, which should be peeled before grating.
It’s also OK if your zucchini is on the watery side—this will add moisture to the bread.
Serve warm with just a little bit of butter on top. Yum! Enjoy. xo. Emma
