blueberry zucchini bread

You know that point in time during the summer when there is so much zucchini that no one knows what to do with it all?  It’s at every stand at the farmers market, super cheap at the grocery store, and your garden is probably busting at the seams with zucchini. I know it might seem like a long way away but believe me, it will be here before you know it and when it is, I want you to remember this recipe.  

Blueberry zucchini bread.  Doesn’t that sound delicious?  I think so, and it definitely is!  The bread is super moist from the zucchini and there is a sweet and plump blueberry in every bite.  The cinnamon also adds a warm undertone that really pulls it all together to make one fabulous quick bread.

So, while zucchini season might not be here yet, I just want you to know I’ve got you covered for when it is.
