Zucchini Bread
It’s late August here in Maine and I am making zucchini bread every week…the zucchinis just keep coming. Zucchini bread has always been one of my favorite breakfast “quick breads” to make and eat. They are called “quick breads” because they are quick and easy to make. Other examples of quick breads are banana bread, lemon-poppy seed bread, cornbread, muffins and coffee-cakes.
This recipe produces a moist cake with the crisp texture of the walnuts. Thick slices of the zucchini bread can be dipped into beaten eggs and fried in butter creating a unique twist to French toast. Serve with pure maple syrup and freshly whipped cream. The zucchini bread batter can also be used to make muffins.
I am growing my most of my garden this year in these “grow bags” including the zucchini.
There are 11 ingredients in my zucchini bread. Eight of the eleven ingredients are pretty standard in most quick bread recipes.
