Recipes and Cooking Bread Recipes Zucchini Bread Recipes That Make Eating Veggies Even Sweeter By Karla Walsh Updated on July 7, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Jason Donnelly Zucchini bread recipes make for a great breakfast or dessert. And since they sneak in a veggie, these healthy zucchini bread loaves ("healthy-ish" in terms of the chocolate zucchini breads and sweet cake-like recipes) are slices you can feel good about snacking on too. From herb-spiked batters to gluten-free zucchini bread, these are the best zucchini breads ever dreamed up in the Better Homes & Gardens Test Kitchen. 01 of 09 Chocolate Zucchini Bread View Recipe Andy Lyons At first glance, chocolate and squash might seem like a strange pair. But the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in this quick bread make this a dream duo. Part of the chocolate gets folded into the chocolate chip zucchini bread batter itself, and the other half is melted and drizzled on top of the baked loaf. Once you taste this chocolate zucchini bread, you might wonder why you ever made it any other way. How to Cut Zucchini 5 Different Ways 02 of 09 Classic Zucchini Bread View Recipe Jason Donnelly This two-loaf recipe proves that the classics are always favorites. When the market is brimming with zucchini, look for the small ones to make moist zucchini bread; they're young and their skins are extra tender. Then shred them, combine with the sweet batter, and dress the loaf up with walnuts or pecans for a satisfying nutty, salty element in each bite. 03 of 09 Dilled Zucchini Bread View Recipe Jacob Fox Zucchini isn't the only ingredient you can use from your garden to make the best zucchini bread. Sprinkle in some fresh-picked dill to give your bread a big boost of flavor. (Yes, we'll admit we're obsessed with cooking with fresh herbs.) The bright dill accents the nutty whole wheat flour and pecans beautifully. 13 Fresh Zucchini Recipes That Take 45 Minutes or Less 04 of 09 Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread View Recipe Blaine Moats Avoiding wheat? No problem, thanks to this gluten-free zucchini bread. Opt for gluten-free rolled oats and flour, along with Greek yogurt, chopped walnuts, and plenty of fresh zucchini to make this bread a treat everyone can enjoy. 05 of 09 Honey-Zucchini Bread View Recipe Jason Donnelly On those mornings when you can't quite decide between a bowl of raisin-crowned granola or a slice or two of quick bread, we say, "You deserve both!" That was what the Test Kitchen had in mind when they developed this healthy zucchini bread recipe. Each loaf is sweetened with honey and gets a pleasant crunch by way of walnuts in the batter and granola on top. How to Freeze Zucchini to Save Your Summer Surplus 06 of 09 Lemon-Poppy Seed Zucchini Bread View Recipe Carson Downing Two classic quick bread favorites come together for this flavorful and ultra-moist loaf—which incidentally makes a perfect summer party host gift. Sour cream and grated zucchini give the loaf its signature soft texture and a postbake lemon syrup drizzle gives it a pop of citrus flavor. 44 Food Gifts That Are Way Sweeter Than Store-Bought 07 of 09 Zucchini-Oat Bread View Recipe Jay Wilde Applesauce, rolled oats, nuts, and raisins combine with garden-fresh zucchini to make a tasty and hearty loaf of bread. This zucchini bread with applesauce "is even better heated a little in the microwave with butter on the slices before eating. Will definitely be making it again!" raves BH&G home baker Karen S. 33 Fresh Zucchini Recipes That Will Squash Your Summer Cravings 08 of 09 Zucchini-Banana Snack Cake View Recipe Scott Little Call this zucchini-banana bread "cake" and even picky eaters will be asking for a slice. Creamy bananas add soft, fruity flavor to these zucchini bars, while mini chocolate chips satisfy sweet cravings. Best of all, you can enjoy the bars for fewer than 120 calories per square. 09 of 09 Spiced Nuts & Zucchini Corn Bread View Recipe Blaine Moats Part cheesy corn bread, part super-moist zucchini bread, this unique recipe is one of our favorite sweet and savory options.
