An easy, fall quick bread with delicious, warm, cinnamon flavor and nuts.
I feel like zucchini bread and banana bread are the most popular quick breads. To me it seems they are all purpose and all season.
However, I tend to think of zucchini bread as a fall quick bread and that’s because of all that warm cinnamon and toasty nut flavor that comes in every bite of zucchini bread.
So, as fall fast approaches, I’d like to share my real simple zucchini bread recipe, because to me zucchini bread is a fall affair.

Mom’s Zucchini Bread
As I said above, zucchini bread is an all purpose and all seasons easy quick bread. It can be served for breakfast, brunch, a snack and dessert or used as a gift. It’s just so versatile.
Because of it’s versatility, it being so easy to make and because it’s a great way to use extra zucchini from the garden, my mom not only made it, but always kept it on hand.
Yes, at least one loaf of zucchini bread was nearly always in our second freezer. It was there just in case Myrtle, from Sunday School, got sick and her family needed a loaf; a new family moved in up the street or the ladies from WMU (shout out to all my Southern Baptist friends, who know WMU) were coming over.
There’s probably a loaf in the second freezer right now just waiting to be pulled out and served up or given away.
