Pioneer Woman Zucchini Bread Recipe

This Pioneer Woman Zucchini Bread recipe is hands-down one of the most rewarding bakes you’ll ever pull together.
The way the zucchini melts into the batter adds a texture that feels rich but not heavy.
I like to grate the zucchini finely so it blends into the bread without any noticeable chunks.
If you want a bit of crunch, chopped walnuts or pecans are a great addition, but they’re completely optional.
