My mom had a ton of zucchini in her garden, so I found some new recipes for us to try when I went home. But alas, we never got a chance to make this lovely blueberry zucchini bread. I had a carb craving the other day (shocking, I know) so I gave it a whirl.
Oh boy. It is soooooo good. It’s too bad my mom and dad missed this yummy bread. It’s super moist and flavorful. The zucchini doesn’t overpower the bread but keeps it tender. Hopefully, my mom still has some zucchini left in her garden, so she can whip up this bread.
Sorry dad.
He gets tired of finding zucchini in dishes that he thinks shouldn’t have vegetables in it—like desserts, but he’d even like this bread. Or at the very least—tolerate it!
The recipe halves nicely and should freeze okay too—for those of you needing to use up your zucchini bounty. This recipe is definitely a keeper, and one you’ll want to pull when your zucchini overtakes your garden.
