Zucchini Bread

Well, well, well what do we have here?  That's right, zucchini bread under the dessert category!  What is that doing here?  Nope, it's not a mistake 🙂  I've concocted this recipe up from one of my Grandma's famous recipes, but instead of making it as an appetizer, that would include more veggies (besides the zucchini),  I put a spin on it and decided to make it sweet.  Boy, is this one to save for the guests!  It came out super moist!  Moist bread is the way to go, especially when you're eating it as is and aren't spreading any condiments on top.  Not to say you can't, but this bread is so savory, that you don't need any condiments to make it more tasteful than it already is 😉  A suggestion I would also make is to use the zucchini pretty shortly after you buy it because fresh veggies are way tastier than "day olds".  The freshness also adds to the moistness, which in my opinion makes the bread what it is!  This bread was served as a dessert in my house, but some other times you could also use this could be during a brunch or even as an appetizer!

Doesn't this look so yummy?

How do you make zucchini bread?

First, preheat oven to 350° and spray a loaf pan with the cooking spray.  Next, mix all ingredients together except the zucchini.  Then, using a spatula fold in zucchini pieces.  Mix will be lumpy.  Finally, pour zucchini mixture into prepared baking loaf, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 1 hour.  Let cool completely and then slice into pieces 🙂
