I tend to share recipes from time to time, like my Pumpkin Fluff Pie Recipe. Today, I thought I would share my grandma’s zucchini bread recipe!
Zucchini Bread
It’s a tradition in my family to make this zucchini bread around the holidays. I believe its use of cinnamon along with a brown sugar/nuts topping make it the perfect addition to our Christmas spread! Now that we host the holidays, I know that it’s Christmas-time when I make the bread! It makes the whole house smell delicious!
I initially made two big loaves of this bread. However, after hosting a few years, I moved to making several smaller loaves. This allows our guests to take one home with them to enjoy later. Plus, it gives me a chance to make some with the topping and some without nuts. Personally, I prefer the bread with the topping as I think it gives it more flavor and texture with the nuts. However, I know that not everyone can enjoy nuts.
Additionally, I found these adorable holiday themed mini loaf pans at our local Walmart (not a sponsored link, just trying to help). So, if you intend to make mini loaves for gifts or want an extra holiday touch, keep an eye out at Walmart and Target for special loaf pans.
