Still have zucchini left after the relish? Zucchini bread!

At a zucchini every 2-3 days from our patch, we have been eating this bread for breakfast almost every day.

This recipe is adapted from the Bon Appétit cookbook, but makes two loaves instead of one and cuts down a bit on the sugar.

It is a bit lighter and crustier than typical zucchini bread. One loaf is good for four hungry people for breakfast.
