Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which makes for a more moist bread.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini blend into the bread better and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked all the way through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread stay moist and prevent it from crumbling.
