It’s that time of the year again when backyard gardens are thriving. A family friend brought over some Squash and Zuchinni from their little home garden. I immediately thought of making some Zuchinni Bread. I love its texture and richness. It is perfect to have a warm slice with butter and a cup of tea in the evening. What a way to warm the heart.
This Zuchinni Bread recipe is very easy to prepare and lasts a very long time in the refrigerator. I used less sugar than the original recipe required to allow the Zuchinni and spices to be the star ingredients and focus less on the sweetness. It was perfect. It was moist yet firm, the ideal combination for this type of bread. This recipe was adapted from Mom’s Zuchinni Bread by V. Monte on allrecipes.
