This easy Classic Zucchini Bread is moist and buttery and full of summer goodness. My recipe has a light sprinkling of brown sugar to give it a little sweetness, without loading it up with sugar.
Hi Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful week!
Happy hump day! We are almost to the weekend. I saw that zucchini squash was on sale at the market this week so that was about all the excuse I needed to make this Zucchini Bread. It has been a little while since I have made zucchini bread and I love it so I am not sure why.
It is one of those recipes that I do not think about too often unless I have an abundance of zucchini. Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables because it has such a great taste no matter how it is prepared, and it is good for you.
So today I am celebrating hump day by sharing my Classic Zucchini Bread Recipe.
Just the kind of thing that makes hump day a little bit better!

YUM! This sounds so fantastic. My grandma used to make zucchini brownies, which were out of sight delicious. Everyone ate them, even the people who hated vegetables. I think the zucchini gives baked goods really good moisture.
Thanks for sharing on Hump Day Happenings!
Raquel
Thanks Megan, oooh I have never tried zucchini brownies, but they sound great!

Hi Raquel! I love zucchini and this bread looks wonderful! I like to make parmesan zucchini - my family will eat just about anything if it has marinara and parmesan on it! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing at Best of the Weekend - pinned to our party board. Hope you have a happy Sunday and a wonderful week!

Yours looks so good! We do get a lot of zucchinis but not quite yet. Now it's asparagus. Definitely not as good in bread as this!!!
Raquel
Thanks Tamara! I could eat them every day!
