Blueberry-Zucchini Bread
Moist and delicious, this zucchini bread recipe is best when you can mix in plump, ripe blueberries while they're at their sweetest.
Recipe Details
Servings: 24 slices (from 2 loaves)
Calories: 205kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup canola oil
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (more if you like spice)
- 1 pint (2 cups) fresh blueberries, coated with flour (just toss with about 1 teaspoon of the measured flour)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 4 mini-loaf pans, 2 loaf pans, or 1 loaf and a muffin tin (your choice!)
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar. Fold in the zucchini.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Beat into wet mixture just until incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Transfer batter to the prepared pans. Bake 1 hour, or until knife inserted in center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely. (Muffins should take about 20-30 minutes - check periodically.)
Notes
- You can also make this into one loaf and then use the extra batter for muffins.
- This recipe freezes well. Just wrap in plastic wrap, then in foil and stick in the freezer for later use.
- This bread is one of those that tastes better the next day. Wrap it after it cools and then let sit on the counter for a day or two before eating.

Got your recipe off of Pinterest (Community Table Blueberry Zucchini Bread). You must have changed the recipe because that one called for 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon and no vanilla extract). I just made that recipe. Sure hope it wasn’t too much cinnamon.
Hi Karen, that’s a different recipe! And yes, that recipe calls for more cinnamon. Hope you enjoy!
When shredding your zucchini for zucchuni bread do you usually shred it skin on and all or do you peel it first?
Leave the skin on.
Thank you for this recipe!
This bread is very good!
They look wonderful! What a great combination!
