But first, I will answer a few common questions that people have.
Do you peel zucchini for bread?
No, it is no necessary to peel the zucchini when you make zucchini bread. When learning how to make zucchini bread, this can be tempting, but it’s just a wasted step. The zucchini will melt into the bread, so just grate it for the best texture.
How many zucchinis is 2 cups grated?
One medium zucchini grated equals about 2/3 of a cup. 3 medium zucchinis should do for two cups grated. Since this recipe calls for 3 cups of shredded zucchini(which is the same as grated), I would use about 4 to 4 1/2 medium zucchinis.
