Yesterday my wife made a zucchini bread that was fantastic.
We usually have banana bread but my wife found a great recipe for zucchini bread on Pinterest and she keeps a couple different recipe boards. One board is for Recipes she would like to make and the other one is for Recipes she has made and likes.
I have to warn that this recipe is really messy to make. I have to admit I have never had zucchini bread so I was a little concerned it would taste crappy but humored my wife anyway – besides I like zucchini so I thought it best not to judge before I tried it.
Fantastic Zucchini Bread
In the end the zucchini bread worked out great and was nice and moist. Out of the recipe my wife got a loaf and about a dozen muffins as well. I have been eating them quickly.
The recipe below is from a great blog – The Kitchen McCabe Kayley at that site has lots of tips and has a great bunch of pics of this fantastic Zucchini bread
