We’re not quite sure why National Zucchini Bread Day was placed in the month of April, while zucchinis proliferate in July. But, then again, we love the excuse to bake a few loaves of this hearty zucchini bread.
This recipe, adapted from James Beard, has a delightful texture and just the right amount of sweetness, and the best part is it makes two loaves. Share a loaf with a friend or simply freeze for a treat later on. We like to bake ours in the Fiesta Loaf Pan for that extra flair.
