Easy Snickerdoodle Zucchini Bread Recipe

A fruitful summer garden can surely produce a large quantity of zucchini! A healthy zucchini plant can yield a bountiful quantity of zucchini. But what do you do with all of that zucchini? Make Snickerdoodle Zucchini Bread of course!

My neighbor gave us a HUGE zucchini the other day. She and her husband had been out of town for a little while and when they got home this big boy was staring up at them from their raised bed garden box

It's a biggie for sure. 




Sometimes the super large zucchini have tougher skin and are less flavorful but using one in this recipe will not disappoint!


This easy-to-make recipe makes two loaves of yummy zucchini snickerdoodle bread. I like to use a stoneware loaf pan and LOVE how any type of break I make in it turns out great.  If you don't have a great loaf pan check out my favorite one here!




This recipe calls for shredded zucchini. I use my handy Presto Salad Shooter to shred it. I LOVE this little kitchen tool because it comes with different blades so I can slice, shred, or fancy slice (with those cool wavy textures - think wavy potato chips) in no time at all. 



After baking the two loaves I love to freeze one and eat the other or sometimes I give one loaf to a friend or neighbor. If you choose to freeze a loaf make sure you wrap it in saran wrap then put it in a large Ziploc freezer bag

I haven't had any problems with freezing this bread and then using it at a later date! Just thaw it on the countertop and enjoy. I do recommend using it within 3-6 months of freezing though.

  1. Will you please, please, please make your recipes and just your recipes printable?!? My cookbooks cannot hold everyone's stories & family pics, not matter how cute they are. I just wanted the recipe and a pic of the finished product. Please consider adding this feature to your page. Your recipes sound wonderful, but having to copy and past everything into a separate document so I can have a haard copy is ridiculous and time consuming.

    1. I'm so glad you liked it - and that it is grandkid approved!! Great idea to put a layer of cinnamon/sugar in the middle. I will have to try that next time I make it.

  3. Does your zucchini have to be squeezed in a towel or cheesecloth to get rid of the excess water?

    1. Thanks for your question! I do not squeeze out the zucchini before I bake the bread and have had no problems with it. Enjoy!
