How to Store Blueberry Zucchini Bread

To store Blueberry Zucchini Bread, wrap it in plastic wrap or foil and place it in an airtight container. It can stay at room temperature for up to three days.

Tips to Make Blueberry Zucchini Bread

• Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter to avoid a soggy bread.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen blueberries can work in a pinch—just don’t thaw them before adding.
• For a bit of crunch, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter.
• If you prefer, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

Variation

You can easily customize this recipe by adding chocolate chips instead of blueberries or swapping in different fruits like raspberries or cranberries. Adding in some oats can give it a hearty texture too!
