Classic Zucchini Loaf Recipe Your Family Will Love

Still #notabaker, but I like tasty loaves & I cannot lie and we found this gem of goodness tucked in Mom Kerr’s recipe clippings collection this week with (simply the best) ideas dating back to 1982 – Vintage Pinterest.  This one might give Banana Bread a run for it’s yummy says our oldest son & is so simple to make.  We modified a few ingredients based on what we had on-hand & the kids’ preference and it came out dee-lish!  Give this Classic Zucchini Loaf Recipe a whirl – you may want to double batch as it’ll get gobbled up just as fast as you baked it!

NOTES:

• If you’re leaving out the raisins & nuts like we did, add only 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
• You can substitute the sugar for sugar substitute & the oil for Greek yogurt (3/4 cup Greek yogurt is roughly equivalent to 1 cup of vegetable oil)
• You can make this a cake in a 13 x 9 x 2 pan, a loaf or muffins.  This recipe made (1) generous 8 x 4 loaf & 2 muffins.
