Gifts from the Kitchen, Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bread

August 8 is National Sneak Zucchini on your Neighbor’s Porch Day,

so if you love your neighbor,

gift them with a loaf of this moist and cheesy zucchini bread instead!

Or

If you are the lucky neighbor recipient you can make this for yourself!

It’s so moist and cheesy

Tell picky eaters that the green things are sort of like sprinkles,

added just to make it pretty!

It’s great toasted for breakfast too~

Let me show you how easy it is to whip up

Grate the zucchini first and spread it out on paper towels

so they can soak up the moisture

The batter is a standard mix of dry and wet ingredients mixed separately

and then combined

adding cheese and zucchini to the final mix

Place the batter into a well greased 9″ x 5″ loaf pan

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, testing near the end

Ovens and pans vary widely,

so check baked goods often with a skewer near the end of baking times

Cool in pan on wire rack and then turn out onto a cutting board

Slice and serve

It’s so moist it doesn’t even need butter

This recipe is adapted from A Pretty Life in the Suburbs
