This quick and easy Dates and Zucchini Bread is sweet, moist, and dense. It is…
Zucchini Loaf
When someone mentions zucchini bread, one would normally think of a non-yeasted quick bread. This is a sweet bread that is cake-like and quite delicious. It is great for brunch, snack, or even afternoon tea. For breakfast or dinner, a yeasted Zucchini Loaf is preferred and zucchinis work just as well here.
Since zucchini is such a mild vegetable, I added some sunflower and pumpkin seeds to provide greater flavor and texture to the bread. I also added a little oat bran in the bread for additional fiber. This is a healthy and tasty loaf, great as an accompaniment to soups or as a sandwich bread.

Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 😎
Hy Biren,
Amazing work…Never thought of preparing Zucchini Loaf so perfect. Thanks dear for the recipe..Will give it a try today.
This reminds me, gotta get the bread machine out from the basement.
Oh wow…that looks absolutely marvelous! I've never tried making a yeast zucchini bread before. What a great idea.
Beautiful bread, thank you for sharing. That would be wonderful to have with a nice refreshing salad.
Zucchini bread…never even thought to make bread with zucchini. Now that's thinking out of the box Biren. I usually stir fry zucchini with eggs but I never would have thought to make bread with it. That is a great idea since zucchin is not too overpowering in flavor. Another great recipe Biren.
One of my husband's customers gave him a variety of breads for Christmas. That was the first time I had zucchini bread. I was surprised, it was actually good. Your version uses pumpkin and sunflower seeds. How interesting. I'd love to give a try.
Ahhhh..Biren whenever I see ur bread posts, I feel so jealous…wish I could also bake breads like u….hope for the best….:(
@Jay – Thanks Jay!
@Rick – The bread machine's depressed living in the basement. It needs to be out making bread 🙂
@JillyAn – Thanks and do give it a try.
roxan@kitchen meditation – Fresh bread with butter and a salad does make a wonderful lunch 🙂
lequan@luvtoeat – I do a lot of fried rice and stir-fries with zucchinis too. Since they are so mild, they go well with most other ingredients. Surprisingly good in breads and even cakes!
@Xiao Yen Recipes – I discovered zucchini bread some years back and have been tweaking the recipe. I really like this version with the buttermilk and olive oil. I hope you will give it a try.
@Kamalika – Making breads with the bread machine is not difficult. Just measure out the ingredients and the machine does the rest 🙂
I simply love this bread..zucchini, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds..oh I'm in heaven..this is a must make for sunday morning…great recipe

I've never had zucchini bread before!
This looks like it has a great texture, Biren. A true sandwich bread. I love that it is a yeast bread with zucchini too-how healthful!
Wow…another homemade made. Looks perfect and delicious. Would make awesome sandwiches with it.
I'm addicted to breads, it's my weakness. If I'm on a diet I can cut everything, but don't touch my bread. And using zucchini just gives me another reason to keep loving it. It looks delicious I wish I had a slice of you bread now for my Breakie. 🙂
I don't think I have ever seen a yeast bread with zucchini in it. This looks delicious! I bet it toasts up nice for breakfast!
Loaf with Zuchi.. Awesome! never even thought about that combo, super interesting and creative. Love this.
Biren, this is really a lovely loaf of bread. I've saved your recipe in anticipation of this summers harvest. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary
Like the addition of the seeds and the healthy aspect of this bread. Looking forward to making a loaf for the weekend with my coffee!

@sweetlife – Thanks! It's a very flavorful bread.
@tigerfish – Maybe you can make a loaf 🙂
@Stella – Thanks! It was great with barbecue chicken sandwich meat and a slice of Havrati cheese.
@MaryMoh – Thank you.
@Anna – Homemade bread is one of those comfort foods that is hard to give up 🙂
@Cinnamon-Girl – I didn't get to toast it as the family finished it while it was nice and fresh. Everyone just wanted butter with it 🙂
@Ann – Thanks!
@Mary – Thanks Mary! I hope you have a bountiful harvest. I wish I could grow more veges here but the growing season is short and there are lots of rabbits around.
@Cristina – I am going to have to make another loaf as it was gone in two days.
@Shree – Thanks Shree and thanks for visiting 🙂
@Yummy Team – Thanks!

Wow, what an amazing bread loaf with zucchini! Excellent!
Woweee! I love bread – been too busy lately to make real yeasted bread cos it takes time *sigh* This looks perfect Biren – the texture and crust are both beautiful and I really like zucchini. Seriously, I need to move into your neighbourhood LOL
This loaf look really fantastic!!
Hello,
I never know Zucchini can make bread. Thank you for sharing. I've learnt something new today.
What a great zucchini loaf recipe. I love how you added sunflower and pumpkin seeds!
What a great veggie loaf! I must give it a try next time.
Hey,
A Newcomer to your blog. What a tempting Loaf! In love with this Savory bread.You do have plenty of bakes in your spot. Love it.See Soon!
It looks so great! Can I make it by hand, not using bread machine? I think then the technology will be different, may be I should make a starter with yeast, water, flour and sugar first?
Can you give me advice?
Best wishes,
Irina
@Gulmohar – Thanks!
@Rumana Rawat – Thanks you. It is easier than it looks. Do give it a try 🙂
@5 Star Foodie – Thanks!
denise@quickies on the dinner table – Thanks Denise! I have worked the bread making into my schedule as I seldom, if ever, buy bread. Would love to have you as a neighbor 🙂
@Cherine – Thanks!
@Spicie Foodie – Thank you!
@Angie's Recipes – Thanks Angie!
@Cool Lassi(e) – Thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂 🙂
@Irina – Thanks for visiting! Yes, you can definitely make it by hand. I would combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add the buttermilk and olive oil. Mix and knead for 10 to 15 minutes until smooth. You may have to add a little more buttermilk or flour as needed. Do remember that the more flour you add, the more dense and heavy the loaf will be. Cover and let dough rise for about 45 minutes to an hour. Gently punch down and shape loaf and let rise for another 45 mintues to an hour before baking in the oven. I hope this helps 🙂
I would definitely like to give this recipe a try! I love the addition of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Thanks for sharing!
