HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH PUMPKIN

Start out by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 2 bread loaf pans with cooking spray. I love these 8×4 inch bread pans.

HOW MANY ZUCCHINI DO YOU NEED FOR ZUCCINI BREAD?

In my experience, I have found that 2 average sized zucchini will be enough for this recipe. Wash and dry the zucchini and peel. Grate the zucchini until you have 2 cups.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.

Beat together eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin, and vanilla in a second bowl until mixed.

Pour wet ingredients into  the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Gently fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips.

Divide batter between the two greased bread pans.

Bake in a 325 degree oven until the middle is fully cooked, about 50 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick in the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

Remove from oven and let the zucchini pumpkin bread cool before removing them from the pans.

You can serve this bread as is or with some butter or cream cheese.

CAN I FREEZE THIS PUMPKIN ZUCCHINI BREAD?

Yes you can! This bread freezes well for up to 3 months. After the bread has cooled, wrap it in at least 2 layers of saran wrap before freezing. When you want to use it, let it thaw for 3 hours before serving.
