Notes

How can the kids help?

Have them measure and mix all the ingredients together!

You can store your zucchini bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. If you are going to be devouring it, like my family did, then you can wrap it in plastic wrap or foil and leave it on the counter.

How to shred zucchini?

First, cut off the ends using a sharp knife.

Next, hold the grater in your non-dominant hand and using your dominant hand slide the zucchini up and down holding it lengthwise.

Then, bang the grater on the cutting board to release all the shredded zucchini. Move the grater to the side revealing all the zucchini.

Last, continue until your zucchini is grated to about an inch and a half left. You don't want to grate it too close to the end to be sure you do not cut your fingers. Graters can be very sharp.
