If you have a well stocked baking pantry, making this bread will be a cinch. This bread makes for a great gift during the holidays or even a pretty presentation on the table when baked in a bundt pan. The zucchini flavor isn't exactly strong in this, but it's not meant to be. The moisture from the zucchini really gives the bread a nice texture. Besides, what better way to get some zucchini in your diet than in something sweet like this?!

ReplyDeleteHow long do you cook mini loaves with this recipe
ReplyDelete@Jamie, for mini loaves, bake at 350° for 40 to 44 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and sides pull away from pans.
ReplyDeleteHow many mini loaves would this recipe make
ReplyDelete@Jaime - it would depend on how big the mini loaf pans are as they vary. You can probably get between 3-4 depending on how big the loaves are and how full you fill them with batter. Hope this helps!
