Notes
- Can you taste the zucchini? You really can't! You can definitely taste the banana flavor, but the zucchini just disappears while it bakes. The bread will be perfectly moist from the zucchini and you'll see the little flecks of green.
- Should you peel the zucchini? No, you don't need to! The peel is very tender and you won't even notice it except for the little green flecks it leaves in the bread.
- Don't you need to remove the liquid from the zucchini? I bake with zucchini a lot and I never wring it out before adding it to the batter. You want all of the moisture in the batter.
- How many zucchini do you need for 1 1/2 cups shredded? For this recipe, I recommend using seven to eight ounces of zucchini which is a medium-sized one.
- Can you freeze it? Yes, you can. It actually freezes really well. Cool the loaves completely and then tightly wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container. They will keep in the freezer for up to three months. Leave them at room temperature to thaw.
