    Frequently asked questions

    I would prefer to make zucchini pecan muffins. How does that affect the cooking time?

    For zucchini muffins, bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    What kind of loaf pan do you use for this zucchini bread?

    This bread will make 2 loaves of bread in 9x5 loaf  pans or 1 loaf and one bundt cake in a 6 cup bundt pan.
