Blueberry Zucchini Coconut Bread

This is one of my go to recipes when I make stuffed zucchini  for dinner and save the middles. Check out my link at the end of my recipe for the stuffed zucchini recipe . This baked Blueberry Zucchini Bread is moist and perfect with that first cup of coffee in the morning!

I never throw out the scooped out parts of zucchini. I save it and freeze it for later.


Here is what I do, I scoop out the centers of the zucchini, make stuffed zucchini for dinner.


Save the middles of the zucchini chopped up, placed  in a freezer bag. Then freeze it or  use it to make this blueberry, zucchini coconut bread for dessert.


 If I happen to have everything in the house then I make this bread right away, most of the time, I don't have the fruit.  We really love this recipe. The coconut gives it such a tropical flavor.


I just wanted to give you that tip because I rarely buy zucchini just to make this recipe. I love the idea that the frozen leftover zucchini works so well.


When I make stuffed zucchini I usually have at least 6 zucchini middles chopped up and frozen that makes around 2 cups.  Just don't waste it or throw it away, it makes the best breads!
