Best Ever Zucchini Bread (2024)

This Best Ever Zucchini Bread recipe comes from my grandma, so naturally, 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 type of recipe has 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}, {Sorency}, peanut brittle {Gillan}, Italian Stuffing {Sorency}, cinnamon rolls {Gillan}, {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 its near summertime, and soon I will have a plethora of zucchini in my garden and freezer, resulting in this recipe all year long.

Tips to making the best zucchini bread

I use a food processor instead of a grater to get the best texture out of the zucchini. This seems to do the best when it comes to baking the bread. And when baking this bread, we love adding chocolate chips or walnuts to this, and I prefer to bake it in 9×5 loaf pans. Either way, this is my grandma’s recipe, and it is the best.

Blessed that I have both of my grandmas still in my life, Grandma Gillan just turning 93 this year, and Grandma Sorency celebrating her 80th birthday this month. I would love to hear what recipe your grandma makes in the comments below that you still love and bake to this day.
