This spiced zucchini bread recipe is super moist and flavorful, loaded with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. I tried several recipes before I asked my mom for her recipe. I get huge zucchini at the farmers market every Saturday, and this is the perfect use for them. It reminds me of my childhood. The loaves can be frozen and are great as gifts. People love them.
