Blueberry Zucchini Bread

by | Food

I’m not a big baker, usually, but like I said when I made my Cherry Cobbler, apparently I’m a a little weird and like to bake when it’s humid and hot outside.  And since it’s both blueberry season and we’re picking up tons of zucchini from the farm, why not make a little Blueberry Zucchini bread for an easy breakfast or snack or dessert, or heck, even dinner?  Yup, dinner.  Dinner for picky little eaters who pick up a lettuce leaf with distaste and say “eww, salad”.

One Dog Woof: Blueberry Zucchini Bread

I was inspired by a recipe on AllRecipes.com, but because I never bake, and knowing I might have to serve it up as a possible meal, I did make some changes.  So here’s my variation of an “I can easily convince myself it’s healthy” Blueberry Zucchini Bread.  Know why?  It has more zucchini in it than sugar.  Yeah!  So with the zucchini and the blueberries and the whole wheat flour, feel free to indulge without guilt!

    Looks amazing! Every year my husband and I battle it out because I prefer my zucchini bread really moist and he likes his dry and cake-ish (he is wrong btw). Someday I’ll get around to posting our “family recipe” it has pineapple in it!

    A friend dropped off a couple fresh zucchini from her garden for us to enjoy and I already have blueberries. My grandmother’s zucchini bread was the best, but unfortunately I never got around to getting the recipe from her. Sure wish I would have! That is the only way she could get me to eat zucchini! The blueberries look like a great addition. Can’t wait to try it!

    Making this right now. Unfortunately the only organic blueberries I had were frozen. I am using this recipe but next time I might try a gluten free option. If you have any suggestions for a gluten free option they would be appreciated.
