What You’ll Need

How to Make Sweet Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8 mini loaf pan with non stick cooking spray.
  2. Place butter and sugar into a large bowl, creaming until well combined. Stir in buttermilk, egg, vanilla and zucchini. Slowly add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and white chocolate chips. Stir until just combined.
  3. Fill mini loaf pan with batter 3/4 full. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool for 20 minutes.
  4. To prepare icing, place powdered sugar and heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk slowly until creamy and thick. Add more cream as needed to thin icing. Drizzle over warm breads and enjoy.

Stir in your vanilla, buttermilk and shredded zucchini.

Stir in your dry ingredients.

Add white chips in the bowl.

Fill your mini loaf pan about 3/4 full. My mini loaf pan is from NordicWare, but any brand will do. Check your local kitchen store, even Target and Walmart I bet sell them. Totally optional but absolutely delicious is to sprinkle the tops of the batter with some sanding sugar. If you don’t have sanding sugar, granulated works just fine too 🙂
