How to prepare zucchini bread to spoil your taste buds?

Even after the temperature has dropped, the zucchini bread is sure to accompany all the typical autumn soups and stews for the season. In addition, it takes less than 10 minutes to mix the ingredients and put in the oven. This bread is so easy to bake that you can grate the zucchini by hand without peeling them first.

How to store?

To maximize the shelf life of zucchini bread, cover it with foil and place in a plastic bag to prevent drying out. In this way, it can last about 1-2 days at normal room temperature. If enclosed in an airtight freezer bag in the freezer, the shelf life can reach 1-2 months.
