Pro Tips for the Best Blueberry Zucchini Bread:

Blueberry Zucchini bread bakes perfectly and comes out moist and soft. I have had a few quick bread recipe fails in my day so I always follow these tips when baking a zucchini bread.

Cover: Tent with foil the last 10 minutes of baking. Sometimes quick bread can start browning faster on the top and this is a great way to help it bake evenly. Dry zucchini: Make sure you dry it well before adding it into the mixture. Dry between paper towels and let it sit for about 5 minutes to make sure any excess moisture is out. Non-stick: Use cooking spray or line your pan with parchment paper to make sure it doesn’t stick. Fresh baking powder: Make sure your baking powder is fresh so that your bread doesn’t turn out too dense. Remove seeds: For the best tasting bread, remove the seeds because they are bitter. Toothpick test: Sticking a toothpick in the center of the bread is the best way to tell if your bread is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done.

Storing Quick Bread:

This recipe makes quite a bit. Actually, I was able to get one large loaf and three small ones from this recipe. So, this bread is perfect for taking to your neighbors or friends for a treat. You will quickly become popular with this recipe!

Room temperature: Store in a sealed container for 3-4 days. Refrigerated: To keep for a few extra days, keep bread in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze: Place in freezer safe packaging and your bread will remain tasty for up to a month. Thaw and use within 2 days.
