Looks good. I love the green hue. Mine always comes out looking less dramatic.
Hi Vic,
Thank you for your comment. I think the “dramatic look” came from the white flour, and as it was a large zucchini that I used..I made sure there were lots of green specs. No matter what shade, it’s tasty.
It’s getting toward the end of the season now, I have a couple more coming, but with the weather cooler, I doubt we’ll get too many more zucchini. But it gives us something more to look forward to for next year.
MMM mmm mmm! Thanks! Savory zucchini breads aren’t common enough!
Re: egg replacements
Hi,
These egg replacements such Ener-g call for a mix of the powder with a certain amount of water. When used in recipes such as this, do you just use the powder or the mixture of powder and water?
Thank you.
Hi Nora,
Thank you for your comment.
I agree with you, it’s hard to find savory zucchini bread recipes, a pity as they are quite tasty. We’re happy to offer this vegan one to all the folks.
Hi Ron,
Thank you for your comment. To answer you, it depends upon the recipe- how “wet” it is already. If it is on the dry side, I will mix the egg substitute as directed on the package, that’s usually 1 teaspoon of egg replacement and one tablespoon of water and then whisked. If the mixture already calls for soy milk or other liquids, I’ll just mix it in with them. In this case, I did mix the egg replacement powder with the soy milk, and then added the mustard etc. Well, I must get out to my garden, I know I have 2 nice zucchini waiting to be harvested. We’re getting into the end of the season now, which is a pity but it always gives something to look forward to next year.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to give me that detailed answer. Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ron
This sounds delicious! I’ve always wanted to bake, but always felt like I didnt have enough time, recipes were daunting and I wasn’t experienced enough. This seems simple AND delicious! Can’t wait to make it!

Hi Matanah,
I think pizza dough is also a good way to learn baking breads and doughs… and a nice pizza on Sat night is a great reward. By working the pizza dough, you begin to get a “feel” for when dough is too wet or dry and about raising etc. You do need t have a warm place for the dough to rise for 45 minutes – an hour (pizza dough).
Please give it a try by all means. It s not difficult to make, and very rewarding- not just in the eating…but the feeling of accomplishment. You should not feel so daunted by baking..it really isn’t that hard to do..yes…it does take time, but that’s what weekends are for
A bread made from baking powder doesn’t need the time as yeast does to grow..this savory zucchini bread was very tasty we really enjoyed it. Another quick ad easy “bread”…are “All American Biscuits”- the are usually our Sunday morning breakfast. They are quick ad easy to make ad taste good with either a savory spread or a jam. You can find he recipe in our index. Good luck with your baking..and don’t be intimidated by a lump of dough..I know you can conquer it
I’m new to this site, so pardon me when I say you have a beautiful Spirit/Energy. Thanks for the encouragement and the time you took to write your note. It was nice to read first thing this morning.
