Zucchini Bread with Brown Sugar Topping

I had some leftover zucchini in the fridge which is really unusual for our family.  We love zucchini! Making bread with the leftover zucchini seemed like the perfect Sunday afternoon activity.  This zucchini bread with brown sugar topping hit the spot.

Zucchini Bread

When my sister-in-law was in town last month, we made banana bread.  She shared a great quick tip with me.  After spraying your pans with cooking spray, sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar mix into the bottom.  Swirl it around.  Dispose of the excess.  Then pour the batter into the loaf pan.  This gives it a sugary, yummy crust to the bread.

I used to reaaally not like zucchini when I was little.  My Mom would make it as a side dish with dinner and I did not want a single piece.  Now as an adult it is one of my go to’s.  I can’t get enough.  Not sure why I couldn’t stand it so much as a kid! Making this bread is perfect because it’s sweet and tasty with vegetables too.  Yay!
