Without question, this blueberry and zucchini bread recipe was the favourite. It is so popular that my zucchini supplier informed me that he will be adding blueberries to my weekly delivery so that I can bring this bread to the office daily.
So, if there are any of you who are overflowing with zucchini like me, make a few dozen loaves of bread to share with your boss, neighbors, friends, family, the mailman… . I guarantee you that this will be the case, score brownie points!
