Zucchini Bread

Jump to Recipe
I am one happy girl when I try a new recipe and things turn out great.  It’s even better when a recipe exceeds my expectations like this one did.  It’s been a long time since I’d made zucchini bread but with some of those veggies hanging out on my counter needing to be cooked, I decided to give it a try.  Goodness gracious, this bread is so moist has rich flavor from the cinnamon & vanilla and just the right amount of crunchy texture from the zucchini & pistachios. The big surprise…it’s made in just one bowl!  While it was still warm, I served it with a dollop of fresh ricotta flavored with honey and lemon zest.  It was so, so good that I decided to have a piece for breakfast – toasted with a little spread of butter.  I love it when a plan comes together…
