We are all about quick bread. They take mere minutes to mix together, they make a convenient on-the-go breakfast or anytime snack, and they are hard to distinguish from loaf cake. (Because maybe they’re really just one and the same?) The flavor variations for quick bread can be endless, but this unique combo has us head over heels. It’s chewy and tart and moist, and everything you want out of a sweet little slice.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup oil
• 1 cup zucchini, shredded
• 1 cup dried cranberries, divided
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Zest of one lemon

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine oil, eggs, and sugar and mix until well combined. Add milk, lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring until thoroughly incorporated.
Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Fold in shredded zucchini and 3/4 cup of the cranberries.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and top with remaining cranberries. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes.
Cool in pan 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
