Our neighbor shared some zucchini from his family’s garden with us this week and I immediately wanted to make some zucchini bread.

I had a can of pumpkin hanging around so I decided to use it in place of some of the large quantity of oil that my zucchini bread recipes usually calls for. The result was this delicious pumpkin zucchini bread!

I love pumpkin recipes year-round and am a firm believer that you shouldn’t have to wait until fall to enjoy some pumpkin goodness.

The bread turned out really moist and with a subtle cinnamon-pumpkin flavor. 

I also didn’t feel too bad sharing it with my little girl since it is packed with veggies, has reduced sugar and has half the oil of regular zucchini bread.

If you’ve got extra zucchini hanging around just grab your box grater and make some of this delicious bread. Enjoy!
