I came so close to not even posting this recipe for Nanny’s Zucchini Bread. This zucchini bread is something that my Nanny has been making for as far back as I remember. Every single summer my Nanny and Papa have had a garden, and they always grow zucchini in that garden. Nanny always uses those zucchini to make this bread that we all go crazy over. I can not remember ever going on a vacation with my family that Nanny did not bring this. We actually ask for this so often, that I am pretty sure she keeps a freezer full of it so that she has some ready to go at all times. I decided that I would share this recipe, because I know how much she loves to share this bread, so I think (hope) that Nanny will be glad I shared the recipe here!
You know that when your recipe looks like the one below, that its a good one!
Slice this bread up, warm it up if you need to and top it with a little butter. You are going to be so very happy that you made it! This is also really good for breakfast with some peanut butter on top. I’ll tell Nanny you said thank you!
