We asked our customers about zucchini bread on our facebook page. And we got such great responses we are going to share them with you here on our website.

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins are a big hit among our customers. And really who wouldn't agree?

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate chips appear to be a favorite, but you can also add pineapple, butterscotch chips, blueberries or even grated carrots to your zucchini bread.

A favorite zucchini bread recipe is Mom's Zucchini Bread which would be great with any number of special additions.

Grated Zucchini
Grated zucchini is the key to zucchini bread and a number of other delicious things that can come out of your kitchen. And the good news is you can even freeze grated zucchini to have it ready for brownies, breads, casseroles and more.

To freeze grated zucchini, divide it into what you would want for a batch of bread and put it in ziploc bags to freeze.

If you want to add more grated zucchini than your recipe calls for. Go for it. We won't stop you.

One of your fellow market shoppers tested 2 different zucchini bread recipes. And then she shared the results on her blog. I baked two different kinds last week.

Susan Puhek from S&P Homestead Farm shared her zucchini bread recipe with us:
