    Frequently asked questions

    How many zucchini do you need for zucchini bread?

    In my experience, I have found that 2 average sized zucchini will be enough for this recipe.

    Can you freeze 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.

    Is there a gluten free version of this recipe?

    To make gluten free zucchini and pumpkin bread, swap out the 3 cups of all purpose flour for 1 ½ cups of rice flour and 1 ½ cups of gluten free flour.

    Want to make meal planning easy?

    Have you tried meal planning? While I love the results of not having to worry what’s for dinner, it can be time consuming. But when you sign up for Eat At Home Meal Plans you get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. Don’t worry, with so many options, even picky eaters will find something they love.

    When dinner time rolls around, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are ready to go.

    You are a busy mama and I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.

      Oh no! I waited until Thanksgiving day to make this recipe and there are no ingredient listings for baking soda and baking powder although they are listed in the instructions (with no measurements!)! I see others have asked also but no reply yet. I guess I'll have to see if I can google similar recipes or figure out something else for my grated zucchini :\
