Notes
- No, there is no need to squeeze any excess moisture from the zucchini in this recipe for zucchini carrot bread. It adds moisture to the quick bread.
- No, there is no need to take the skin off the zucchini for this zucchini bread with carrot. The skin is so thin it will melt into the bread and not affect the texture at all.
- This homemade zucchini and carrot bread will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. After that, I move it to the refrigerator due to the moist veggies in the bread.
- You can also freeze the bread for up to 6 months. I like to wrap the loaf in plastic wrap then in foil and place in a freeze safe bag. You can also store it in individual slices. Thaw in the refrigerator.
