  • Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove and place on the cooling rack. Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

NO NEED TO SQUEEZE! Yes you read that correctly. Don't squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini as it helps keep your bread nice and moist.
I love to add 1 cup fresh blueberries to this loaf too!  If you make the blueberry version, add the walnuts to the top instead!
