We have been receiving one or two zucchinis in our CSA box just about weekly. Now that I have discovered the love of zucchini bread, I have actually been looking forward to getting them. I set them aside specifically for bread. Since blueberry season is dwindling down, I thought it would be perfect to incorporate fresh Maine blueberries with fresh, organic zucchini!
This recipe did not disappoint. The zucchini kept it perfectly moist and the blueberries were a wonderful burst of flavor. I doubled the recipe to bring one loaf to my sister’s baby shower since it was a brunch deal. I don’t think I brought any bread home! I am glad that I saved one loaf at home. My kids particularly loved it. You could definitely double the recipe and freeze one loaf. A perfect way to preserve summer!
