The Best Zucchini Bread Recipe
Now, I love banana bread as much as the next person, but because I love smoothies more I freeze my brown bananas. Zucchini, on the other hand, I tend to always have too much of. With weekly CSA deliveries, I can’t eat them fast enough!
Normally I just make my zucchini bread the old fashioned way, but after discovering Revival small-batch almond butter, I knew it would taste great baked into a fresh sweet bread.
Of all the flavors I’ve tried, I especially love the Cinnamon Chai flavor, and when you bake that into zucchini bread, it is freaking delicious! It’s the perfect flavor combination for the fall season.
