This is the BEST Zucchini Bread. It’s flavorful, moist and not overly sweet – It’s the perfect balance of flavors and easy to make at home!
We all know that time of year when the zucchini just start flowing. They seem to pop up out of nowhere…
For me, popping out of nowhere always meant the office breakroom, where everyone would bring in their abundance of zucchinis from their garden. Not my garden… Since I have a severe lack of a green thumb. My plant grew one zucchini last year.
Now that I’ve quit my corporate job, I’m going to be missing all those zukes. But that won’t stop me from making this zucchini bread.
I consider this to be the golden standard of zucchini breads. With hints of cinnamon and vanilla and notes of caramel from the brown sugar. It’s flavorful and moist but not overly sweet.
