ZUCCHINI BUTTERMILK BREAD



Zucchini Buttermilk Bread image

I was searching for Zucchini bread to use up some home-grwon zucchini that I had and I came across a recipe that was good, but not great. I decided to modify it and add one of my favorite ingredients, BUTTERMILK. I love buttermilk pound cake and had a recipe for it as well. I love the texture of a light pound cake, but the semi-sweetness of a bread. So, after testing and modifying, I finally have a great recipe, Zucchini Buttermilk Bread. Hope you Like it, I know I do!

VERSATILE BUTTERMILK BREAD - BANANA OR ZUCCHINI



Versatile Buttermilk Bread - Banana or Zucchini image

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law while I was searching for a moist banana bread recipe years ago. She said the buttermilk makes all the difference. After trying a handful of different recipes - I am inclined to agree! The original recipe is for banana bread. I loved it so much I also altered it to make zucchini bread too! This recipe is one of those throw everything in a bowl and mix recipes - which is why I love it. It also freezes very well. **If you don't have buttermilk - plain yogurt can easily be substituted. Use 1/2 cup yogurt with a splash of milk.
