Anyone who’s ever had a garden can tell you that sometimes a certain group of plants just explodes in a fit of over-production. And, when that happens with your zucchini it can mean a lot of these fruits to get rid of. You begin to sneak them into a variety of dishes they wouldn’t normally appear in! But, with zucchini bread everyone knows what they’re getting so it’s less of a hiding game. Instead, the moist texture and mild flavor of the zucchini means you end up with a lovely dessert bread. This recipe has an outstanding flavor that adds a bit of sweetness to this traditionally health-conscious bread.

In the batter for this bread there are fresh blueberries. But, there’s also some blueberry preserves in there as well to heighten that blueberry flavor.

There’s no granulated or brown sugar added because of the preserves, but also because there’s maple syrup in the batter. And, of course there’s a good amount of shredded, raw zucchini in the batter as well.

Once this has baked and cooled you’re left with a tender, sweet, and irresistible loaf of bread that can be served for breakfast, snack, or dessert. Honestly any time of day is perfect for this yummy blueberry zucchini bread.
