Zucchini Bread

My best friend recently made some zucchini bread and let me try some and it was so delicious!! I asked her for the recipe and she even gave me a zucchini from her mom’s garden. So sweet of her to share! I made it that very night, it’s that good!! Such great flavor and super moist and you would never know it had zucchini in it. I think I may like it better than banana bread even! Definitely will make this over and over again. Perfect way to use up zucchini from the garden or farmer’s market.
