Tips for Making the Best Zucchini Bisquick Bread

Start with Bisquick: Bisquick Baking Mix makes the process fast and foolproof while giving your bread a tender, cake-like texture.

Add-ins for Extra Flavor: Chocolate chips are a delicious choice, but you can also mix in grated citrus zest, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.

Don’t Overmix: Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense, tough loaf instead of a light, moist bread.

Watch the Bake Time: All ovens bake differently, so set a timer and begin checking your bread after 25 minutes.

Prevent Overbrowning: If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil to keep it from burning while the inside finishes baking.

How to Check If Your Quick Bread is Done (Internal Temperature Guide)

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.

    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.

      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.

      Thank you for the recipe. I added some cubed jalapeño cheese.
      The less sugar is great! Thank you! There’s too much sugar in recipes.
      This made an excellent dinner or anytime bread.

        You’re so welcome—I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The cubed jalapeño cheese sounds like a delicious addition. And I agree—sometimes less sugar really lets the other flavors shine. Thanks for trying the recipe and sharing your twist!

    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.
