Well it’s definitely zucchini season again! Zucchini plants just LOVE the heat and with our fabulous triple-digit heat wave that we just went through my zucchini plants are in HEAVEN! Zucchini is such an amazing vegetable because it can used in both sweet and savory dishes. Zucchini can be grilled, roasted, and even fried! My mom used to make fried zucchini and OMG. That stuff is dangerous! We used to dip those babies in ranch…wowza! It was so good!

Now y’all know I love to bake with zucchini too right? Brownies, cake, cookies, quiche (my all-time FAVE!) – you name it – I’ll bake it! When I’m making something for my family that starts with all of this…

…I have to admit, it feels pretty darn good. Better than that, the boys will chow down on this bread like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes I add the frosting, sometimes I don’t. The bread is sweet enough on it’s own – for sure! – but a little frosting sure goes a long way in selling this bread as “cake” to the boys 🙂

    Just made this and it’s delicious! Although, I did learn the hard way not to tip out onto a wire rack until it’d cooled enough. Whoopsies 🙂 I’m not going to put the frosting on – it’s yummy enough without.

    Hi! I was wondering (like one of the other comments above), how long do I let it cool in the pan? I’m always confused as to whether it will remain more moist if I leave it to cool in the pans OR if I take it out to cool. P.S. I subbed raisins for the nuts AND I will be adding what sounds like delicious frosting. Thanks!

    what a beautiful cake! Thank you for sharing! I gave your receipe a try! I was a little nervous bc it was so thick when I mixed it all together! I didn’t have two loaf pans and I didn’t want the batter to be sitting out so I turned it into a bundet cake! Added less sugar esp if adding frosting! Turned out great! My two year loves it dry like a muffin 🙂 thanks again for sharing!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe, I cut back the sugar, used a mix of whole wheat and regular flour and used purple carrots from the farmers market. Made them into muffins that were amazing!!

    After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment
    is added I get four emails with the same comment.
    Is there an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?

    I’m not a big fan of clove. Would it make a difference in flavor if i left it out? Can wait too make this for my boys. Especially for my toddler, he just loves bread. Thanks for the recipe 🙂

    Carrot Zucchini Apple Bread
    I have this baking in the oven at this very moment. I had to bake in my glass bread pans, so I reduced the temperature to 325, hope it bakes correctly. One question I have is how long should it cool in the pan before removing from the pan.

    Would it be possible to make these as muffins? If so, how much time in the oven?

      Yes! I haven’t made these as muffins but I would start checking at around 35 minutes and just keep on an eye on the from then out. Good luck!

    I just wanted to let you know I made this bread and absolutely love it! It is so moist and did not get too brown in the oven like all the other breads I’ve made. I posted about it on my blog and would love if you’d check it out! http://piesandplots.net/carrot-zucchini-bread/

    So good, what a wonderful recipe. I was thinking about putting together an e-book of “Facebook” recipes. Would it be possible to include this? I am not sure how the book would work yet I think I’ll have to get permission from all of the recipe authors but I think it would go over good since we all find recipes on FB that we just love and then we cannot find them again they get lost in the jumble of other information. If you don’t mind me including this please send me an e-mail.

      Hi Rachel! Unfortunately I wouldn’t want my recipe published somewhere other than my site. If you were using an image and linking back that would be okay but using my entire recipe is not. Thanks for stopping by!

    Do you think I could sub the butter for apple sauce or no?

      I would sub in oil for the apple sauce instead of butter.
