Why don't you see zucchini bread/muffins sold anywhere retail?

I always see banana nut, blueberry, cream cheese, and even strawberry muffins sold in gas stations and grocery stores, and then all sorts of breads (including banana bread and pumpkin bread) and cakes and rolls but I never see zucchini bread or zucchini muffins...does zucchini go bad faster or have a shorter shelf life? Does anyone know why zucchini breads are not sold in very many places retail but are equally as popular as banana bread when home made?

    Maybe the retail outlets order from an alphabetical list of available breads? But then again, maybe not a lot of people bought zucchini bread when it was available. I'll be 78 years next month, and have never tasted it.

    Not sure but it is very easy to make & homemade is always best.

    Zucchini Slice

    Ingredients:

    5 eggs

    150g (1 cup) self-raising flour, sifted

    375g zucchini, grated

    1 large onion, finely chopped

    200g rindless bacon, chopped

    1 cup grated cheddar cheese

    60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil

    Method:

    Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 30 x 20 cm lamington pan.

    Beat the eggs in a large bowl until combined. Add the flour and beat until smooth, then add zucchini, onion, bacon, cheese and oil and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

    They are so moist, they need to eaten within a couple of days, so they would'nt have a long shelf life to make them commercially viable. Better to get a recipe and make your own fresh.
