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
