This Best Ever Zucchini Bread recipe comes from my grandma, so there isn’t a better zucchini bread recipe out there.
This Zucchini Bread is simple, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. We bake it all year long.
This bread recipe is a family recipe, and in my life, the best recipes have come from one of two people: my Grandma Gillan or my Grandma Sorency.
They make some of the best things I have ever tasted from this Best Ever Zucchini Bread {Gillan}, spaghetti & meatballs {Sorency}, peanut brittle {Gillan}, Italian Stuffing {Sorency}, cinnamon rolls {Gillan}, mac & cheese {Gillan} and Santa Claus Cookies {Sorency}.
I am lucky to come from a line of bakers. And I am fortunate that I grew up eating this Best Ever Zucchini Bread. This recipe is why I have planted 8 zucchini plants every year. I am sad that since we moved and my garden is significantly smaller, I will only be plating two this year, but I am praying they’re plentiful.
If not, I will beg for some zucchini, as store-bought zucchini are so small. Why is that? I love the large zucchini; they are just so beautiful. I love seeing a garden full of zucchini and pumpkins. Another reason I love fall.
But I love that it’s near summertime, and soon, I will have a plethora of zucchini in my garden and freezer, resulting in this recipe all year long.

I am making my second batch of this today! My co-workers, some who have never had zucchini bread before, loved it. I have to share that the first time I made it I didn’t have enough white flour so I made mine with 2 cups of white flour and one cup plus the 3 tablespoons of whole wheat flour and it came out wonderful so I’m making it the same way in round two! Thank you for the inspiration!
Our family loves zucchini bread and they all said this was by far the best they ever had!
