For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients. To prevent the zucchini from making the bread too moist, gently squeeze out any excess water from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze the bread for longer storage.
