Classic Zucchini Bread

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!
