Bring on Fall! This Pumpkin Zucchini Bread is perfect for fall! It’s the combination of my two favorite quick breads in one loaf! So easy and delicious!
Fall season is the perfect time of year to make this delicious pumpkin zucchini bread recipe! It’s an easy recipe that combines some of our favorite fall flavors, including warm spices like pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin spice. The recipe uses a large bowl for the wet ingredients and a medium bowl for the dry ingredients. You can use whole wheat flour or even gluten-free flour to make this recipe suitable for your dietary needs.
To start making the bread, you’ll need to grate some fresh zucchini using a box grater and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a paper towel. Then you can combine the wet and dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and fold in the grated zucchini until everything is well combined. You can also add some extra zucchini if you want to increase the veggie content of the bread.
Once your batter is ready, you can pour it into a prepared pan (either a 9-inch loaf pan, bundt pan, or even mini loaf pans) that has been greased with nonstick spray. You can bake the loaf of pumpkin zucchini bread in a preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
This pumpkin zucchini bread is a family favorite and a great way to use up any extra zucchini you have from your garden or the grocery store. You can slice the bread into individual slices and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or you can double-wrap the entire loaf with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze it for up to 3 months in freezer-safe bags. When you’re ready to enjoy a couple of slices, simply microwave them for a few seconds or toast them with a pat of butter for a delicious afternoon snack. This delicious pumpkin zucchini bread perfectly accompanies a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, or even a spoonful of cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
The pumpkin really takes the Zucchini Bread to a whole new level! If you haven’t tried our favorite Zucchini Bread recipes you are missing out!

Cathie says:
I made this over the weekend but cut back on the sugar (1/4 cup less each)and used 3/4 cup of vanilla Chobani in place of the oil. Sooooo good. Thank you for this. I've had several people ask where I got the recipe, so I sent them to you!

Lisa D from San Diego says:
Made this tonight and it was great! Used the oil/applesauce instead of butter since I think it makes a moister bread. Actually used more applesauce than oil. I increased it by 50% since I had extra zucchini and made 4 loaves and baked them for about 54 mins. Thanks for the recipe! I'm sure my friends and son's teacher will thank you also!

Lauren says:
I had the same thing happen as Lisa. The bread is in the oven and it looks super dry. The mix was really hard to put in the loaf pans. I'm nervous :(
-
Barbara says:
Made this recipe yesterday, used the 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup home made apple sauce and the 2 cups of zucchini versus the 1, which I noticed was a choice, it was super moist and delicious, gave one away as a gift and got great reviews on the gift one plus my family loved it....

Barbara says:
Just made this but instead of breads baked in a sprayed 9 x 13 pan baked in 30 minutes was perfect and moist served with whipped cream, delicious! p.s. also used 1 1/2 tsps of pumpkin pie spice in place of cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves....

Michelle T says:
I made this recipe and it turned out fantastic. The only changes I made was I cut the sugar amount by half and I use all applesauce instead of using any oil or butter. I also substituted wheat flour and it still turned out fantasticly. I do think even though I halved the sugar amount I will even use less next time it was still a little too sweet still.

Alicia Smith says:
Quintessentially Fall y'all!! I baked this for our family last night & we all agree that it will become a part of our baking routine. Thanks!

Stacy says:
Have you ever used a bundt pan with this recipe? If so, what adjustments did you make, if any?
-
Cyd says:
Hi Stacy, I'm sure you could cook this in a bundt pan, I'm not sure if it would be too much batter for one cake. We haven't used a bundt pan before. The main thing would be getting the batter about the same depth as you would in the loaf pan. It might take one batch of experimenting. This is one of our favorite pumpkin bread recipes. Have a great day.

Rachel-Sue says:
My favorite pumpkin bread recipe. I use the 1/2 oil and applesauce combo. In addition, I added 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and mini chocolate chips. So incredibly yummy!!!
-
Mak says:
Used this recipe last year and LOVED it so much! Unfortunately I Cant have anything high in carbs anymore, so do you think coconut flour would still turn out right ?
-
Misty Dean says:
Very good! In order to cut down on the sugar, I substituted erythrotol (not sure on that spelling) for the sugar ,but used the full cup of brown sugar. I also used coconut oil for ½ of the butter. Very tasty!
-
Karen b says:
Excellent flavor and texture.

Susan T. says:
