Use up your summer harvest with this delicious Maple Vanilla Zucchini Bread. It’s simple to make and it’s ready in just an hour.
I don’t like zucchini or any squash for that matter.
But, despite my distaste for your standard cooked squash, I love zucchini bread and zucchini pickles.
It becomes something totally different when it’s all shredded up and mixed with sugar, spices and flavor extracts.
Like with this Maple Vanilla Zucchini Bread…this stuff tastes exactly like fall should taste.
A friend of my husband gave us a few zucchinis and normally, I’d make pickles with it. But this year I didn’t do any gardening (in anticipation of a move that has taken much longer than expected!) and so, it doesn’t make sense to just do a couple of jars.
Instead I decided to make some zucchini bread and I’m so glad I did.
The best part about this bread is it’s a quick bread – meaning it’s easy to throw together and it only requires a short amount of cooking time.
No kneading, no rising. You really can’t mess it up. It’s great stuff!
All I did was use my standard zucchini bread recipe with a few tweaks. I was out of regular cinnamon and so instead of cinnamon, I used allspice.
Then, I added a little extra vanilla along with some maple extract and it turned into a heavenly, sweet bread that melts in your mouth.
Try it – you’re going to love it!
Here’s the recipe –
