Italian Zucchini Bread is easy, you will love it and it’s a great way to use up zucchini overload from the garden. It is so good toasted with butter and a great bread with any meal. It also smells wonderful while cooking and keeps several days. Can be reheated in oven or microwave. You could double this recipe if you want to make a loaf for a friend.  This Italian Zucchini Bread freezes well, too.  If you are a gardener, this is one recipe you will return to each summer.  My family loves this bread and I make it often when I have fresh zucchini.

  1. Random tip: I subbed the buttermilk with sourdough starter. I have seen other places where the sourdough provides the necessary acid to interact with the baking soda. The result was an AMAZING loaf of bread! The flavor profile is fantastic! We barely resisted eating the entire loaf when it came out of the oven. Now I have to go cut another slice. 🙂

    Recommendation: MAKE THIS NOW!5 stars

    Love so many of your recipes. What do you suggest in making this gluten free? Recently realized gluten causes my eczema to flare up

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      Bob’s Red Mill makes a Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, you may try that. Glad you enjoy the recipes. Have a wonderful day.

  5. Kathy Alley says:
