Why This Blueberry Zucchini Bread Recipe Works

There’s no need to squeeze grated zucchini since it adds tons of moisture to quick breads and muffins. You’ll use that moisture to your advantage to create the most tender, flavorful bread! If I have it for breakfast, I have it with a bowl of yogurt or cottage cheese to get my protein.

• Light in Calories: It contains less butter and sugar than most quick bread recipes.
• Delicious: My daughter Madison loves this zucchini bread!
• Make It Ahead: You can prepare this recipe for the week and refrigerate or freeze the rest.
