Peel: Grate your zucchini with or without the peel, either way works great. Finely shred the zucchini for best results. Shortcut: Use a food processor for quicker prep time instead of using a grater. It will be done with just a few pulses! Remove excess moisture: Zucchini is usually very moist. Dry it as much as possible before mixing it in with your other ingredients. To do this simply blot between paper towels. Don’t over-mix: Over-mixing will cause a the texture of your bread to be too dense instead of a light and soft texture. Storing: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. To enjoy these for longer place them in the fridge for up to a week or the freezer for 3 months. Re-heating: Thaw for 3-4 hours and room temperature, or if you’re in a rush, microwave for 20 seconds.

The mixture comes together quickly by combining 8 ounces of cream cheese with an egg, ¼ cup sugar, and ¼ cup flour. Also try this Swirled Banana Cream Cheese Bread for incredible flavor. Fruit: To make your bread even more moist add in up to a cup of mashed bananas for more depth of flavor and incredibly soft texture.
