Honey-Zucchini Bread

evelyn/athens's Note:

This is a great, spicy zucchini bread that is sweetened only with honey. Make this on a Saturday morning to enjoy with your coffee.

A great way to use all that zucchini that you have this time of year. I made muffins and baked about 18 minutes.

A lovely spiced bread, easy and quick to put together. Liked the tip about measuring the honey after the oil too!

I just wanted to say I made this recipe yesterday and again today, and it turned out great !!!! Only I used 3 cups spelt flour, and baked at 350 instead of 375. Today I used half organic carob chips and half walnuts.
