Though it's not always the case, I think using older or overripe zucchini can also result in a bitter taste, so opting for fresher zucchini might help improve the flavor!

You know what, Zucchini bread can taste bitter if the zucchini used has large seeds or is overly mature. Removing the seeds and using younger, smaller zucchini can help reduce bitterness.

Zucchini bread can taste bitter if the zucchini isn't properly drained. Excess moisture can cause bitterness. Try squeezing out the liquid from grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. Also, ensure you're not using the bitter skin in the bread.

Zucchini bread may taste bitter if the zucchini used has large seeds or if the zucchini itself is overripe, which can result in a more bitter flavor.
