Zucchini Bread Recipe
We love to bake and there is something so comforting about sweet bread recipes… This is a surprisingly delicious combination! It is a super simple treat to make with your little ones and enjoy throughout the week.
My son helps me cook most days. He FREAKED out when he saw me put in the zucchini and told me he wasn’t going to eat it. But then it smelled like fresh chocolate chip cookies. That was our saving grace and was the only reason he was willing to give it a try. He absolutely LOVED it & now it’s a family staple.
Thank you Miss Cori for the inspiration.
