Recipe Notes
Bisquick Baking Mix provides a versatile base for your quick bread recipes. You can easily amp up the flavor and texture by adding extras such as grated citrus zest, nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits.
To ensure a light and tender quick bread, be cautious not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a denser and tougher texture. Simply mix until the ingredients are just incorporated.
Zucchini Bread and all other quick bread recipes are done when the internal temperature reaches 190 to 210 degrees or the toothpick comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached. Use a digital meat thermometer to check!

Storing, Freezing, Thawing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container or wrapped in foil at room temperature for 2 days. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezer: Allow the bread to completely cool before wrapping well in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the wrapped bread in a zip top freezer bag or air tight container to protect it from freezer burn. You can freeze the zucchini bread for 3-6 months.
Thawing and Reheating: Allow the bread to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. You can easily reheat the bread slices by toasting them in a toaster oven until warmed through and slightly crispy.
Recipe FAQ's
Do you leave the skin on zucchini when making bread?
When preparing zucchini bread, it is typical to peel the skin off the zucchini before incorporating it into the batter. The skin can be tough and have an impact on the bread's texture. However, certain recipes may suggest keeping the skin on for added texture or nutritional benefits. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and the specific recipe being used.
How many zucchinis is 2 cups grated?
Typically, when you grate one medium-sized zucchini, you'll end up with about 1 to 1.5 cups of grated zucchini. So, to obtain 2 cups of grated zucchini, you'll generally need around 1 to 2 medium-sized zucchinis.

Honestly haven’t made it yet but 1/3 cup sugar doesn’t seem like anywhere near enough for two loaves. I wonder if it’s supposed to be 1-1/3 cup. The bisquick banana bread recipe calls for 3/4 cup sugar for one loaf and the ripe bananas add sweetness as well. I’m going to try 2/3 cup of sugar in this recipe.
Lois says
You say you haven't made the recipe, so why would you rate it with THREE STARS??? The amount of sugar listed in the recipe card is correct. This is not a sweet dessert bread, but a savory bread.
Kennan says
I would like to make this recipe, but what size of bread pans do you use? I did not see it in the recipe anywhere. Thank you for your help.
