Well it’s definitely zucchini season again! Zucchini plants just LOVE the heat and with our fabulous triple-digit heat wave that we just went through my zucchini plants are in HEAVEN! Zucchini is such an amazing vegetable because it can used in both sweet and savory dishes. Zucchini can be grilled, roasted, and even fried! My mom used to make fried zucchini and OMG. That stuff is dangerous! We used to dip those babies in ranch…wowza! It was so good!

Now y’all know I love to bake with zucchini too right? Brownies, cake, cookies, quiche (my all-time FAVE!) – you name it – I’ll bake it! When I’m making something for my family that starts with all of this…

…I have to admit, it feels pretty darn good. Better than that, the boys will chow down on this bread like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes I add the frosting, sometimes I don’t. The bread is sweet enough on it’s own – for sure! – but a little frosting sure goes a long way in selling this bread as “cake” to the boys 🙂

    Trish, I love how you’ve combined 3 yummy flavors into one bread! I’ll admit, when it comes to food, I don’t make healthy choices, including when I eat something as good for you as zucchini. I like it fried and smothered in ranch! Is that wrong?

    This looks delicious! just pinned and will most definitey be making, but with one change: that is waaaay too much sugar! I’ll cut that down to about 3/4c. Carrots, zukes, and apples are already sweet. Living out of the US almost a decade has changed my sweet tooth. It’s still there, but it requires muuuch less sugar! 2c would be downright sickly!
    But, other than that, this looks like a winner!

    I love zucchini, but the only way I can get my family to eat it is to bake with it. This bread sounds delicious, and I know it would be a hit. I’m going to have to try your zucchini oatmeal cookies, too! =)

    Trish that looks so good! I love all the flavors! I have a carrot/pineapple/banana bread and a couple sweeter zucchini breads and love baking with zuke because it adds so much softness & moisture. Pinned!
