Cheap Zucchini- Any bread/cookie recipes?

[3mickeymom]

I have alot of zucchini and would love to try to make some zucchini bread or cookies for this weekend and maybe for freezing later. I tried it once with little success. I would love to hear your recipes, if you don't mind sharing. I trust the DISers opinions. I have read some great recipe suggestions on here before. Also, I make a great pumpkin bread that comes out really moist. I make it in coffee cans. Would you substitute zucchini into the recipe? Coming here for suggestions first. Thanks in advance.

YES! Just use your pumpkin bread recipe and sub the zucchini for the pumpkin. We have a recipe and we use for both of these plus bananas and they all turn out great!

I have a lot of zucchini as well (just pulled 6 large ones from my garden). There's an AWESOME recipe for Zucchini bread that I use ALL the time and it's just wonderful. I do use the modifications from the first review though

I wanted to try something a little different other than zucchini bread, and came across this recipe: Zucchini Brownies

^AMAZING!!!

And from eatathomecooks.com, she has a zucchini-carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (minus the carrot for me since I didn't have carrot, so I subbed more zucchini for the carrot)

Hope these help!

Wanted to second both of these recipes, they are so good!!!! The Moms Zucchini bread esp I made it and didnt tell my Inlaws what was in them and they loved them and they dont like Zucchini! My mods for the recipes is I use raisins instead of nuts and no added sugar applesauce instead of oil, to make it a little heathier! My sister also cut the sugar in half and said it tasted no different!
Here is a Zucchini Cinnamon Waffles recipe just in case

Its not bread or cookies, but heres a good way to use it up if you like pumpkin pie...

peel. if large, cut lengthwise and scoop out soft middle part with seeds. Cut the rest into chunks. Boil until soft. drain, then mash. Drain some more.
Use equal amounts of whats left in place of pumpkin.

After you mix up your pie, if desired, add a drop or 2 of red food coloring to turn the pie more orange.

It will taste like pumpkin pie. I have fooled many people with this one.

If you like apple pie you can also make mock apple pie with it.

You can also freeze it after cooking and draining to make pies with later.

I just made this the other day, Im very calorie consciences so this would be if you want a healthy version!! Less then 45 calories a slice.

5 egg whites...or egg beater substitute
1 cup sugar (you could do all splenda or vice versa, its your preference)
1 cup splenda
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups grated zuchinni

2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tbls cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Combine wet ingredients. combine dry and sift into wet. I used 3 mini loaf pans, baked at 325 degrees for about a hour, but Id check them at 45 minutes, as ovens can vary. These were the most moist loaves of bread I have ever made....so delicious too!

I used Paula Deen's recipe on www.foodnetwork.com for zucchini bread this past weekend. There are 2 out there one with Choco Chips and one with out. I made 8 loaves out of 1 very large zucchini. My husband took several to work and everyone loved them. I may make a few more before our trip to freeze and take along for us to enjoy then.

This is my favorite zucchini bread recipe. I just made it this week.

but this one also sounds good, I just haven't tried it.

I love zucchini sliced, basted with olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper & grilled...yum!

I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but I ended up with some extra zucchini and I decided to shred it and see what meals I could slip it into without my DD11 noticing. So far so good, she just ate 2 helpings of lasagna with 2 whole shredded zucchinis in the full pan. I am trying to think of what else I can slip it into

I love zucchini hashbrowns. Heat a pan, add olive oil, smush a pile of grated zucchini together, brown on both sides, sprinkle with salt and serve with ketchup. Yummy.

It's bread or cookies but I do zucchini pies for my family and they love them, easy to freeze as well. I use my MIL's recipe but here's a similar one from All Recipes.com

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/zucchini-pie-2/detail.aspx

I use Bisquick and then top the pie with jack or cheddar cheese.

with my morning coffee. Thank you for all the delicious suggestions. I made the first recipe suggested by Leshaface. I ended up adding a little more grated zucchini since that was what I had already grated and I didn't want to throw it out and I split the batter into three coffee cans. They took longer to cook but came out looking like extra big muffins. They are moist and delicious and I think the sweetness is perfect. I still have more zucchini so I will try some of the other recipes as well. Maybe we will have a taste test. My kids love doing that! Once again, the Dis forums helped me find a great recipe(or at other times a great bargain, or idea, or motivation) Thank you again for the help.
