A moist and tender zucchini bread bursting with fresh blueberries, perfect for breakfast or a snack. This easy homemade recipe balances flavor and texture with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar with vegetable oil until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the grated zucchini and blueberries into the wet mixture, being careful not to crush the berries.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle chopped nuts or coarse sugar on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the bread on a rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Use fresh blueberries or thaw and drain frozen ones. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Do not overmix batter to keep bread tender. Let bread cool completely before slicing for clean slices. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
