This moist and delicious Zucchini Sweet Potato Bread recipe was given to me by my dear friend and former college roommate, way back when our now adult kids were little. It quickly became a favorite of both moms and kids at our neighborhood playgroups. We introduced it to our breakfast bread offerings here at the Inn at English Meadows and found that our guests loved it too! It makes a very pretty presentation when baked in a Bundt pan, but this recipe also works in two 9” x 5” loaf pans. And it freezes well! If you choose the loaf pan option, you can serve one now and freeze the other one to enjoy later! This breakfast bread is loaded with healthy veggies, and easy to pull together (especially with the help of a food processor for the grating!) I hope you and your families will enjoy it often at home.
Tip: I always go a little heavier on the cinnamon and vanilla. Suit your own taste!
