Gifts from the Kitchen, Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bread
August 8 is National Sneak Zucchini on your Neighbor’s Porch Day,
so if you love your neighbor,
gift them with a loaf of this moist and cheesy zucchini bread instead!
Or
If you are the lucky neighbor recipient you can make this for yourself!
It’s so moist and cheesy
Tell picky eaters that the green things are sort of like sprinkles,
added just to make it pretty!
It’s great toasted for breakfast too~
Let me show you how easy it is to whip up
Grate the zucchini first and spread it out on paper towels
so they can soak up the moisture
The batter is a standard mix of dry and wet ingredients mixed separately
and then combined
adding cheese and zucchini to the final mix
Place the batter into a well greased 9″ x 5″ loaf pan
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, testing near the end
Ovens and pans vary widely,
so check baked goods often with a skewer near the end of baking times
Cool in pan on wire rack and then turn out onto a cutting board
Slice and serve
It’s so moist it doesn’t even need butter

Another delicious recipe from you just in time to use up all the zucchini. This recipe looks really moist and yummy. We love our bread warm and right out of the oven.
Yes, it’s best warm from the oven, but it is great toasted too…
Jenna, I have never tried a savory zucchini bread recipe. I have to say this looks delicious, especially toasted for breakfast. Happy Wednesday!
It was an easy side dish for BBQ chicken the other night, and we loved the cheesiness!
Good Morning Jenna! You told me you were baking Zucchini Bread with cheese. And here it is! Well this will have to be the next one I bake!
Enjoy your Wednesday my friend!
great minds think alike Nancy! I hope you enjoy this cheesy version 😊
YUM! Just printed and pinned this! I made a ton of batches of zucchini bread last summer and have made none this summer! I am slipping! But, this looks so good. Thanks for sharing. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
We enjoyed this cheesy version, I hope you do too Cindy!

Zucchini will be coming in soon — I’m holding on to this one!
It’s easy and really good!
I love this recipe Jenna! Brilliant to add cheese to this! Will definitely give it a try.
Thank you Dorothy 😊
Sounds yummy Jenna! I don’t think of adding zuke to a savory bread, love your cheesy combo!
Even the boys liked it, moist and cheesy!
Num, this looks absolutely delicious. Great for a treat instead of going to the bakery. It’s all about variety and staying home, now. Hugs, Sandi from TFT
Thank you Sandi! You don’t taste the zucchini, it just makes the bread very moist and delicious, kid friendly too!
This zucchini bread that you made looks so good Jenna. I will have to bake some for our family! Thanks for the recipe.
Hope you have a nice day and weekend.
Thank you Julie, everyone loved it 🙂
Oh, that looks so good. I’ve probably lived in New Mexico too long, but I think it would also be delicious with some green chile added to give it a little zing. I can almost smell the bread in your pictures!
Yes, green chilies would be a great addition!
