Homemade Autumn Bread
You will love this Homemade Autumn Bread if you like Zucchini, Carrot and Banana bread all in one. If you like making bread you must try this one at least once.
Now that the Fall Season is here, it’s time to make some of this awesome Homemade Autumn Bread. While it is called bread, it does not have any yeast in it so doesn’t require any proofing or rising.
This bread is typically made with zucchini and often has carrots and bananas in it. I like to add some chopped Walnuts to it but that is optional based on your preferences.
What I love about this bread recipe is just how easy it is. It’s no different than making a cake or cookies. You basically prepare the wet ingredients, then add the dry ingredients and bake for an hour.
If you prefer muffins but still want to use Zucchini, I suggest you check out my Zucchini Muffins recipe.
When it comes to the loaf pans, depending on what kind you use you might want to take some precautions.
If you are using a metal loaf pan, you can add parchment paper to the bottom and sides leaving a little extra to use as a handle to lift the load out of the pan.
With silicon or foil loaf pans you don’t really need to do that. Additionally, you shouldn’t spray stoneware with cooking spray.
Nut Allergy Warning
This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.

What an awesome recipe. I made this yesterday and it was a hit with my family. I made 2 Batches and put the other batch in the freezer. The second batch I left out the nuts. But both a very moist. These loaves would be a great Christmas gift wrapped with a special ribbon. Definitely a five star.
This recipe is so fantastic. It’s moist and sweet. You’d never know there were vegetables in it. The loaf I made did not last long in our household. Definitely a keeper.
