Why this crock pot zucchini bread recipe works

Most zucchini bread recipes are baked in the oven, so it’s normal to wonder whether you can whip one up using your slow cooker. I can tell you that your crock pot will do just as good a job as your oven (if not better).

With slow cooker recipes like this, the prep time is cut down because you’ll use a boxed cake mix versus starting from scratch. The remaining ingredients are those needed per the box instructions, a couple of warm spices (cinnamon and nutmeg), and the zucchini. Dishes like this are easy to make and pair perfectly with any main course. Also, try my slow cooker banana bread or slow cooker pumpkin bread.

Recipe Ingredients

• Yellow Cake Mix: I like to use Duncan Hines perfectly moist, classic yellow. You can use whatever brand of box cake mix you prefer.
• Cake Mix: Vegetable oil, large eggs, and water.
• Seasonings & Flavorings: Vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg add the perfect taste to this zucchini bread recipe.
• Zucchini: I recommend using two large zucchini, largely grated.
• (The full recipe is under the photos in the recipe card).

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Add everything to a large bowl and mix until just blended. The batter can be lumpy, that’s normal.

Step Two – Mix until just blended.

Step Three – Spray an oval slow cooker with non stick spray and pour in the zucchini mixture.

Step Four – Cover and cook on HIGH For 2 hours and 15 minutes OR until the center is no longer jiggly. Keep the lid on so you don’t disturb the cake while it’s rising. When the cooking time is up, remove the stoneware from the insert and place it on a cooling rack. Cool before slicing and enjoy!

How to serve Zucchini Bread

• Keep it simple by serving slices of zucchini bread (toasted or cold) with a smear of butter. Also, great topped with jam.
• Zucchini bread also makes a delicious breakfast option, especially served alongside eggs, diced tomatoes, fresh parsley, and sliced avocado.
