Zucchini Carrot Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting

  • If you enjoy carrot cake or zucchini cake, you’ll love this zucchini carrot bread recipe. It’s slightly denser than carrot cake and not as sweet, but the flavor is just as amazing. The bread has a soft and moist texture, thanks to the shredded carrots and zucchini. It’s perfectly sweet with a hint of cinnamon.
  • For an extra treat, I highly recommend topping it with homemade cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans. Because why not indulge a little? (Although, be warned, once you start adding frosting, it’s hard to stop!)
  • Make sure to add this easy zucchini bread recipe to your collection, as it’s likely to become a staple in your recipe box, right alongside your favorite banana bread recipe.

Could I Make This Recipe Into Muffins?

  • Although I haven’t personally tried it, some readers have reported success baking this recipe in a muffin pan. If you opt for muffins, you’ll likely need to reduce the baking time to around 18-20 minutes.

How to Freeze Bread

  • This carrot zucchini bread freezes well. To freeze the entire loaf, let it cool completely, then wrap it in two to three layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. It can be frozen for up to six months.
  • For sliced bread, I recommend freezing the slices on a baking tray first to prevent them from sticking together. Once frozen, transfer the slices to a freezer bag for long-term storage.

Tips for the Perfect Zucchini Carrot Bread

  • If you want to make this quick bread recipe a bit heartier, try using a combination of half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour.
  • Wait until the bread is almost completely cooled before adding the cream cheese frosting.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider toasting the pecans or walnuts before chopping them.
