Zucchini Carrot Raisin Bread

Zucchini Carrot Raisin Bread

Who would have ever thought that Vegetables in a sweet bread would taste so yummy? My love of Carrot Cake should have been a clue. The Zucchini and Carrots add so much delicious moisture to this bread it almost borders on cake. I used Raisins, but you could easily swap them for Chocolate Chips if that’s more your thing. A little tip: wait for it to completely cool before diving in, it’s going to be hard but I promise it’ll be worth it. Perfect with a cup of Tea or Coffee.

Makes about 9 slices
