Pumpkin Spice Zucchini Bread

As you may or may not have noticed, I have been a bit zucchini obsessed of late. Once August hits, however, I suddenly shift into pumpkin mode. Yes, I know it’s early for some of you, but I have been waiting for this since last November. I was wondering how the combination of zucchini and pumpkin would work in a quick bread, and let me tell you, it works perfectly! This little gem serves the purpose of ridding you of excess zucchini (if you happen to be so fortunate), getting vegetables into your picky family, and satisfying that long desire for the return of pumpkin spice. It’s easy, requires no mixer, and the aroma makes the house smell like fall.
