Zucchini Bread

Do you have more zucchini from your garden than you know what to do with? We run into this problem every summer! Zucchini is delicious, but you can only eat it so many times!

That was until we started making this unbelievable zucchini bread. The kids devoir it without the slightest clue they are getting in some vegetables.

Not a huge zucchini fan? You will be now! You don’t even tastes the zucchini in here. One bite, and you will be hooked.

We love to sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on the bottom of the pan. This gives it a little extra flavor and adds the perfect texture.

When you need to bring a special treat to someone, this is the perfect thing! Make a couple loaves in mini bread pans and you are good to go!

And if you don’t happen to have zucchini growing in your garden, don’t worry! This bread is worth buying some zucchini from the store. This bread is delicious, sweet, and filling. It will be a hit with the entire family.
