This is my all-time favorite zucchini bread recipe. Of course, I just love those blueberries. My downfall. So why not put these two together? With the addition of lemon, it was a big hit with my husband.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Tender and moist, this is a loaf of lovely zucchini bread. Perfectly sweet, there's a slight lemon flavor that goes well with the blueberries. A wonderful quick bread to use summer zucchini and fresh blueberries. Enjoy this zucchini bread for breakfast, a snack, or light dessert at room temperature or slightly warm.
