This is such an easy dessert bread to make it’s insane and we get not one, but two treats! It might just be us, but we feel really accomplished when we whip up this recipe it might be knowing what we have to look forward to that gets us going, or the fact that, regardless of whatever else happened in the day, we still made something delicious either way, it’s great.
We love mixing things up a little and surprising our eaters with the zucchini and chocolate chip combo, but you could basically throw anything into this bread and it would taste amazing: apples, pumpkin, banana and chocolate chips it’s impossible to go wrong!
