Zucchini Bread:
True story: When I was little, my Mom made zucchini bread and zucchini cake ALL THE TIME. And I hated it… with a passion. There was something about it… like it wasn’t sweet enough or it didn’t have great flavor- or perhaps she just didn’t have good recipes (sorry Mom). Everyone else seemed to like it though, so maybe it was just me. Maybe I was frightened by the prospect of including a green vegetable in a CAKE, and I just couldn’t get past it. I guess I’m over it, because I actually LIKE zucchini cake and zucchini bread now! The zucchini just adds a nice, moist element to the classic zucchini bread I made for you today. The flavor of zucchini itself is not present (thank goodness!) Because truly, I don’t normally want vegetables in my cake.
I’m happy to be on board with zucchini bread now. This recipe just turns out perfect. Next up: I’m going to be on the hunt for a mega-delicious zucchini CAKE recipe to share with you! I might even add some frosting!
Gluten-Free Classic Zucchini Bread:
My Mom is gluten-free, so I make a special loaf for her using Cup 4 Cup gluten-free flour (subbed in this recipe for the all-purpose flour). It turns out perfect as gluten-free and she loves it. By the way, that brand of flour- the Cup 4 Cup is my go-to flour blend when I’m adapting something to be gluten-free. I’ve had great results with it being the one that makes baked goods taste most like normal.
