Today’s the last day of my zucchini fest. I’m sure the occasional zucchini recipe may still pop up on here since I will still have zucchini coming out of my garden for a while. I am glad I tried new recipes and that I was able to find some really good new recipes. For my final zucchini fest recipe I have selected another recipe for loaves of quick bread. I really wondered about this one. Could you make lemon poppy seed bread with zucchini in it?
Of course for here at my house, I left the poppy seeds out. My husband is not a fan. I do think this bread would have been delicious with the poppy seeds, but it was also just fine with out them. I also liked the fact that it called for a box of lemon pudding. This helped add the the moistness of the bread. This bread was so delicious and made two generous sized loaves. It was a nice change from the regular recipe with cinnamon and the chocolate version. This recipe also came from the Taste of Home website.

This was a huge game tonight. It was our first big region win.
I had a ton of zucchini from a friend who grows mountains of the stuff, and this has been a lifesaver! Thank you~!
I tried your Lemon Poppyseed Zucchini bread recipe but altered it slightly and it was delicous. My friends and family were elated with it and I never made Zucchini bread before so I was elated also.
I switched 2 cups of flour for Almond meal and used Safflower oil instead of Vegtable.
It was awesome!
Thanks for sharing.
