Ingredients:
3 c. flour, 1 t. salt, 1 t. baking soda, 1 t. baking powder, 3 t. cinnamon, 3 eggs, 1 c. vegetable oil, 2 1/4 c. sugar, 3 t. vanilla, 2 c. (peeled) grated zucchini (about 2 medium zuchhinis), 1 c. chopped walnuts
Instructions:
1. Grease 6 empty/cleaned vegetable cans (or 1 8x4 inch bread pan)-I use Baker's Joy with flour.
2. Sift flour, salt, soda, powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar and then add in sifted ingredients and beat well.
4. Fold in zucchini and nuts.
5. If you are using the cans, I filled mine to a little over half full of batter, and the popped up perfectly. I wanted a tiny bit peeking over the edge.
I put a piece of syran wrap over the cooled bread, cut a circle of wax paper, and held it on with a rubber band, which I later covered with raffia.
This freezes well, and can be stored in the fridge for a week++. :O)

I've never seen this done in an actual tin can but I really like the look and what a fabulous gift!
What a yummy, clever idea!
What size cans are these? I am so doing this!!!! Thank you!
I used vegetable and soup cans that are about 15 oz. ;) Happy baking!
Alright, you must share these and the larger gift this coming week at the Pretty Packages Party! You're just so crafty!
smiles!
cool- always wanted to know how to do this! thx!
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
What a AWESOME! idea! Going to have to share with my mom!
So cool! I'd never thought of cooking a quick bread in a can. This would be a fun way to share the garden bounty with neighbors.
Very cute idea...found you on the links on "Be Different...Act Normal"
I think the only issues with the cans would be the ones that are lined/coated (they are usually white, often on acidic foods). I'm just going to use the all metal ones.
Thanks for sharing!
What a cute idea for a gift! I love it!

I love stuff baked in cans! (really!) Thanks for sending along. I posted at ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com
My Mother made Boston Brown Bread in tin cans. We had it every Christmas until she passed away in 2003 and never became ill from eating it. I love the way you topped them off for a gift.
We are having a Bake Sale to raise funds for my halau (hula school) Ka Pi O o Ke Anuenue in Ashland, Oregon. I am so excited to use this recipe. I just looked up a link from the retail store Trader Joes. They sell many different products in BPA Free cans. I was worried about cooking cans and making the food for sale toxic. After some research, the real danger is with the cans leaching BPA's into the food during the cooking process. Using the BPA free cans takes the danger out of cooking with lined tin cans. Also, a good hint is to use a can opener which seals the edge of the can, making it safe (not sharp). This kind of opener can be found at specialty cooking stores, online and from a Pampered Chef Salesperson. Yay!
My Grandma made Zucchini Bread in cans. I had the recipe long ago, but have lost it. I'm so glad you posted yours.
Just as a note, I vaguely recall her having a tray of water in the oven to keep humidity high.
Her recipe always had walnuts, and sometimes she had raisins and chopped dates in her bread. It was very dark because she had molasses in the recipe.
I'll take yours and experiment with it to see if I can't replicate what my memory has been craving.
