6Zucchini Bread
I know that I just posted another zucchini recipe, but this recipe is so good that I just had to share it. Growing up, my neighbors had a great garden in their backyard. One thing that they would always make using vegetables from their garden was zucchini bread. Ever since then, I have loved zucchini bread. I adapted my recipe from the zucchini bread recipe by Simple Bites. Aimée’s recipe is studded with dark chocolate, and looks and sounds wonderful. I will definitely be trying out her recipe in the near future. I adapted the recipe to be a little bit more simple. If you don’t have any ground cardamom, feel free to omit it or to experiment substituting with some ginger. Another thing that I will mention as well is that I did not squeeze any of the moisture out of the zucchini after I grated it. I wanted to make sure the bread was as moist as possible, so I left it how it was. If you don’t have a mini loaf pan already, I highly suggest that you buy one. They are so stinkin’ cute! Happy zucchini bread baking!
