Classic Zucchini Bread

I have been back home now for exactly 1 week and I can’t tell you how many loads of zucchini I have already been given.  Between zucchini and tomatoes I should open a road side stand.  

Of course I am not complaining!  Over the years I have accumulated some amazing zucchini recipes.  I didn’t know there were so many different ways you could cook, bake or grill zucchini.

I guess you can never have too many recipes!

This zucchini loaf recipe was given to me by my mother and every year that I make it I think it gets better and better.   It is so easy and don’t forget you never squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini.

It is so moist and delicious.

Zucchini Loaf

I remember the first time I made it for my in-laws, and my father-in-law who is not a great sweet lover was so impressed with this loaf, he could not believe it was made with zucchini.

When I make this zucchini loaf I usually make it plain because as they say less is more and in this case it is so true.

This is the perfect partner with a cup of coffee or tea, great for breakfast or an afternoon snack.   The perfect zucchini loaf,  fast easy and so tasty.  Give it a try.  Enjoy!
