bountiful summer squash bread
This is a great quick bread that utilizes the bounty of summer squash that accumulates in the garden! These leaves freeze well and are great for snacking.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
We love quick bread and never tried a summer squash one, so we were eager to try this recipe. We were surprised at how good it is. It's made like zucchini bread, but summer squash has a naturally sweeter flavor. Once baked, this summer squash bread is sweet and tender with a sugary top. Perfect light dessert or afternoon snack.

Test Kitchen Tips
The recipe says to divide the batter between 2 loaf pans. When you do this, it makes 2 very short loaves. We think this could be made into one loaf if desired, but the cooking time would need to be longer.

Step 1Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour two loaf pans. In a large bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the oil, sugar, squash, and vanilla. Cream all together until incorporated. -
Step 2In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
-
Step 3Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat until well blended.
-
Step 4Pour batter into two loaf pans.
-
Step 5Bake at 325 for 1 hour or until the center comes out clean with a toothpick.
