How To Make This Easy Zucchini Bread with Self Rising Flour

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Set that aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the sugars, honey, melted butter, and eggs. Mix well.

Step 2: Add the self rising flour and cinnamon to the large bowl. Mix until combined.

Step 3: Add the shredded zucchini to the bowl and mix until just combined. It's ok if there are a few lumps left in the batter.

Step 4: Add the zucchini bread batter to the loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the zucchini bread to cool completely before cutting.

Tips and Tricks

• Drizzle the zucchini bread with a sweet glaze or topping with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
• Do not overmix the batter. It won't be completely smooth, there will be a few lumps left in that batter, and that is ok!
• Make sure the zucchini bread cools before slicing. If you cut into the bread while it is too hot the bread will likely fall apart and you won't get the texture you desire.
• If the top of the bread starts browning too quickly, cover with a little bit of aluminum foil while the rest of the bread bakes.
• Parchment paper can be lined in the loaf pan to make sure that the zucchini bread does not stick. It will also make it easier to lift out of the loaf pan.
• This recipe needs self-rising (or self-raising) flour. All purpose flour will not work. You will have to add baking powder or baking soda to the batter.
