Zucchini Bread

Zucchini bread is one of my favorite ways to use up garden zucchini, especially in the summer when the counters are overflowing with it. I don’t know about you, but I love having a sweet loaf resting on my counter to snack on throughout the week or day. It’s sweet but not too sugary, perfectly spiced with cinnamon, and unbelievably moist.
