Description

This zucchini blueberry bread recipe makes three moist and flavorful loaves packed with shredded zucchini, warm cinnamon, and juicy blueberries. Perfect for freezing, gifting, or feeding a crowd!


Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1½ cups canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini (moisture squeezed out)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in flour to prevent sinking)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8×4-inch loaf pans with parchment or waxed paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just moistened — do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and blueberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These loaves freeze beautifully. Once cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Add lemon zest for a bright twist!
