Glazed Zucchini Apple Bread Recipe

This simple quick bread is so easy to put together. To start, you will need to grate the zucchini and apple using the large holes of a box grater. Be sure to squeeze out any extra moisture from the zucchini so you don’t end up with overly wet bread.

Next, simply add all of the wet ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined. The applesauce and cinnamon combination keep this bread moist and flavorful without the addition of added fat. Lastly, add the dry ingredients, stir to combine, and fold in the squeezed zucchini and apple.

Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. You will know the bread is ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use a clean knife to loosen the loaf from the pan. Let the bread cool completely on a wire cooling rack before adding the glaze.

Simple Quick Bread Glaze

Now you could leave the zucchini apple bread as is and still have a delicious treat. However, by adding a simple glaze, you can really have a treat to look forward to — plus your kids will gobble it up!

This simple quick bread glaze is just a combination of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk together and pour over top of the cooled bread.

If you prefer a thicker glaze, just use two teaspoons of milk for half cup of powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add another teaspoon of milk.

Pour the glaze in a simple back and forth motion over the top of the bread. Let the glaze set, about five minutes or so, before slicing the bread.
