I LOVE a good zucchini bread <3 You are absolutely right! They do grow like wild ones….Your neighbors will despise you at the end of that growing season LOL. Everyone in the neighborhood gets sick of us! Especially when you get a bumper crop LOL.

How many zucchini did you use to get 3-1/2 cups shredded? I have one in the fridge, and probably need 2 maybe 3 more? Love the look of the recipe and want to try it soon.

It depends on the size of the zucchini’s. Some in my garden were HA-UGE (like a foot long!)! Others, were teeny tiny.
