Just place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and then mix them until the batter comes together.

Don’t worry if the batter has some small lumps – it doesn’t need to be completely smooth.

This bread keeps well at room temperature as long as it’s tightly wrapped. You can also freeze the thoroughly cooled loaves and thaw them later at room temperature.

Sandra’s Tips

  • Do you have to peel the zucchini? No, you don’t need to peel it first. Just grate it and add it to the batter.
  • Don’t you need to wring the grated zucchini? I don’t because you want the moisture from the zucchini in the batter. Unless your grated zucchini is very watery I don’t recommend wringing it.
  • Can I use pumpkin pie filling? Canned pie filling is not the same as canned pumpkin puree. Pie filling has added sugar and spices, while puree is just pumpkin (with maybe some salt added). So, use the puree for the best results.
