Ingredients in Blueberry Zucchini Bread Recipe

What You Need:

  • Eggs.
  • Vegetable oil. This can be any mild oil. I use safflower oil or olive oil.
  • Applesauce. Applesauce helps to replace some of the oil in the recipe to make it a bit healthier.
  • Vanilla. You can use homemade vanilla extract or store-bought.
  • Sugar. This is just plain cane sugar. I haven’t tried a replacement in this recipe.
  • Brown sugar. Adding brown sugar instead of all white sugar will help add moisture into the bread.
  • Zucchini. This can be fresh zucchini, dried zucchini, or frozen zucchini (drained).
  • All-purpose flour. You can also use gluten free flour.
  • Whole wheat flour. Adding half whole wheat will make this bread healthier without your family even knowing. If you are doing gluten free, just add the full amount of both flours in gluten free.
  • Salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg.
  • Blueberries. These can be fresh, frozen or canned, depending on what you have on hand.

How to Make Blueberry Zucchini Bread:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 9×4 loaf pans.

Step 2: In a large bowl, sift together flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well in between each egg.

Step 4: Fold zucchini into sugar mixture.

Step 5: Add in dry ingredients and mixgently.

Step 6: Fold in blueberries.

Step 7: Pour evenly into pans.

Step 8: Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Allow your bread to cool before cutting (if you can wait!) to avoid a crumbly mess. My favorite way to eat it is warm with butter, but even eating a slice right out of the fridge is great! Your whole family will love it, and they’ll never even know there’s zucchini inside!
