zucchini bread

[BarbK]

Since we moved we have not been able to find our zucchini bread recipe. Does anyone have a good one we could use? We plan on making gift in a jars and breads for Christmas presents this year and we have a whole freezer full of zucchini to use.

I can't believe no one has posted a zucchini bread recipe. There are lots of good ones on the internet. I basically use my banana bread recipe and switch out the 2 cups zucchini for the banana and add cinnamon or other spices. If you check in the canning section there was a recipe for zucchini bread in a jar, or do a search here on BYC it should come up.

3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnut

I found the zucchini bread in a jar. It is post 1720 in the what are you canning now section. Maybe this will help you too.
