Zucchini Bread FAQs
Do you take the skin off zucchini for bread?
Nope! No need to peel the zucchini before grating.
How do you keep zucchini bread moist after baking?
Store in an airtight bag or container. After 2-3 days, consider moving to the fridge to keep mold from growing, especially during the summer. Don’t slice your zucchini bread until you’re ready to eat it. Slicing leads to drying out.
How many zucchinis do I need?
A medium zucchini usually makes about 1 cup shredded zucchini.
How do you get water out of zucchini for zucchini bread?
If your zucchini are very watery, you can put shredded zucchini in a paper towel and lightly squeeze to remove some of the water. If you squeeze lightly and no water comes out, you don’t need to squeeze any more!
