Cherry Nut Zucchini Bread {Recipe}

Apparently we are big fans of zucchini bread, because this Cherry Nut Zucchini Bread is the ninth variation that I’ve posted. I’d better hurry up and come up with another one so I can make it an even 10. LOL!Cherry Nut Zucchini Bread


I bet this zucchini bread doesn’t taste like any zucchini bread you’ve ever tried before. It just tastes like a loaf of yummy cherry nut bread. But it’s chock full of healthy zucchini. Bonus! If you really want to fool people, you can peel your zucchini. Trust me, they won’t know it’s in there!

I got this recipe from my mom last year, and I seriously love it! I’m having a hard time restraining myself from finishing off the remaining loaf. The almond extract in this recipe is the perfect compliment to the cherries, and it adds a ton of flavor, so don’t leave it out!
