This mini loaf zucchini bread recipe bakes up perfectly moist in under 35 minutes. Made with simple pantry ingredients and fresh zucchini, these small loaves are great for gifting, bake sales, or freezing for later.
3 loaves
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Finely Shredded Unpeeled Zucchini patted dry
- 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Finely Grated Lemon Zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line three 4" mini loaf pans with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt). Create a well in the center and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until just combined, be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the mini loaf pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Place the loaves on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
- Small zucchini will have the best flavor and less excess water.
- Use a box grater or a food processor to save time shredding zucchini.
- Don’t skip patting your shredded zucchini dry, it’s the best way to avoid soggy bread.
- Once you add the dry ingredients, gently fold until just combined. Overmixing can make the loaves dense and tough.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Mini loaves bake faster than a full loaf. Start checking at 30 minutes with a toothpick.
