There's just nothing like a slice of warm zucchini bread with butter melting into it. And, with our recipe, you'll be able to whip up nutritious, dairy-free loaf in no time. So grab your apron and your mixing bowls, and have that (dairy-free) butter standing by. It's time to dive into a zucchini bread recipe that will have your friends and family hollering for more! 

What Is a Quick Bread?

Zucchini bread loaf is a type of quick bread, and knowing what you're making can help you bake it to perfection. 

Quick breads are simply breads that are leavened ("rise") using either baking powder or baking soda as opposed to yeast. Because they don't have yeast as an ingredient, they don't require rising time

There are many different types of quick breads out there. For instance, biscuits, muffins, and loaf breads all fall into this category. However, there are plenty of other breads such as soda bread, coffee cake, or yeastless naan that also count as quick breads.

Easy to Make, Easy to Eat

So, now that you know what a quick bread is, let's talk about why our zucchini bread is such a great treat to whip up. 

For one, this recipe is extremely easy to make. As mentioned before, quick breads don't require additional rising time. That means that you can start and finish your zucchini bread recipe in less than half the time it would take you to make yeast bread!

Better yet, this recipe can be enjoyed any time of day. Don't just serve it for breakfast!  Make it ahead for a brunch spread, toast a slice with your afternoon cup of tea, serve it as an after school snack (try some peanut butter on top!), or jazz it up with whipped cream or ice cream for a tasty dessert. 

Bonus time: this soy-free recipe is a great way to use up all that summer squash in your garden or farm box! It's a sweet, delicious and creative way to make something out of all that of squash that you have lying around.  (If you need some other ideas, try our Yellow Squash Curry or freezing raw squash cubes to use in our Smoothie Recipes.)

Healthy and Allergy-Friendly

Another benefit of this spectacular zucchini bread recipe is that you can make it as healthy as you want. And, you can switch out ingredients to make sure that it's allergy-friendly! 

Using JOI instead of oil eliminates unhealthy fats from the recipe, while adding an extra boost of healthy fats, protein and fiber.  And, we're using less coconut sugar and boosting the sweetness factor with an unrefined sweetener such as honey.

If you want to make the bread gluten-free, you can switch out the flour for gluten-free flour. Do this at a 1:1 ratio or follow the package instructions. 

This recipe is pretty forgiving, so you can also play around with the flour.  Swap out part of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat, rye, teff or spelt to subtly alter the flavor profile.

Plus, because we are using JOI milk as well, you know you're getting a clean milk alternative...no gums, fillers, or other products junking up your batter! 

How to Make the Zucchini Bread

Mix It Up to Your Preference

Now that you know how to make the recipe, we wanted to give you a few pro-tips for making the perfect zucchini bread, styled by you. 

For one, you can choose to make muffins using the zucchini bread batter instead of a loaf. This reduces the cooking time and makes them easy to freeze if you have extras. 

Also, you can play around with mix-ins.  Add dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts to make a truly delectable bread. Each bite you take will be packed with tasty and flavorful add-ins of your choice!

No lemon in your produce haul?  No problem!  Omit it or swap it out for a splash of almond extract or orange zest instead.

  • I’d like totry your zucchini bread. Your recipe calls for 1/2 c. JOI plant base (cashew or almond) and then the second ingredient calls for 1/2 c. JOI prepared milk(almond, cashew, creamer or oat). Does this mean you can add 1 c. JOI almond milk for both of these 2 ingredients?
