Juicy blueberries paired with zucchini are the highlight of this moist, light and decadent Blueberry Zucchini Bread.

Blueberry Zucchini Bread | Inspiration KitchenIf you love to eat, you need to read this post.

I’m recruiting for one healthy eater. Read not health-conscious.  Healthy as in eats a lot. 🙂

This person must love food. Can eat a lot. Be willing to try [almost] anything (even IK’s disasters like this Sorghum Popcorn and the Fortune Cookie Lips). AND, love to wash dishes – both yours and mine.

OH…and you must, must, must compliment me profusely.

Interested?

The application is in the comment section.  😉

Yes, The Husband’s crazy work schedule is messin’ with my cooking again, and me don’t like that.

Take this absolutely amazing Blueberry Zucchini Bread.  Just look at these blueberries!

Blueberry Zucchini Bread | Inspiration KitchenYet, the conversation went something like this:

Me:  “Are you eating the Blueberry Zucchini Bread?”

The Husband:  “I haven’t had time and I have no place to keep it when I’m on site.”

Whaaaaaaaaaat?  I could think of a few places, but I didn’t say anything.

Blueberry Zucchini Bread | Inspiration KitchenLike in a lunch box. Or the glove box in his truck. Or…  what were you thinking?

See?  I’m getting better.  This holding your tongue thing is not half bad.  🙂

So, I’ll just have to tell you about it by myself.  It’s seriously fantastic.  Like uber good.  Moist, filled with juicy, plump, poppable blueberries all wrapped up in a moist, decadent zucchini bread. Not too sweet – but perfect food music together.  Hear the harps?  Music.

Blueberry Zucchini Bread | Inspiration KitchenI’m telling you ~ you.must.try.it.

    This made me laugh out loud! My husband works an opposite schedule from me and it is terrible for food blogger purposes! I make things way before he gets home and then he eats it hours later and he doesn’t know how good it WAS when it was fresh…urgh! But this bread looks amazing! Those must have been massive blueberries! I love it! And your photos are beautiful! I feel like it is really hard to get perfect slices sometimes!

    Well, I was all ready to fill out my application until you mentioned “dish washing”. Ummmm,, I don’t really do that. That’s what I have six little hands for in my house called……my kids!! 😉 Seriously though, I could go for a large slab of this blueberry zucchini bread!! In fact, that sounds like a fantastic combination!! 🙂

    I’m a healthy eater (healthy foods AND I eat a lot), and you’re about to be showered with compliments. This bread looks so perfectly amazing, and moist and decadent just as you described. I think using blueberries with zucchini sounds like a great idea, and I need to try it! Your photos are beautiful as always, and you really didn’t need to pay me to say any of this. haha I would gladly help you eat this bread over coffee! 🙂

    I can’t believe your husband couldn’t figure out a way to take this bread to work! Not that there would have been any left overs around me – they would have been gone in 10 minutes flat in my house! I love the combination of blueberries and zucchini!

    On that note, are you still accepting applications for Chief Taste Tester because I want to be your taste tester but only if you promise to go easy on the spice! {HUUUGGSS}

    I am loving this bread with the blueberries. It looks perfectly moist and delicious. I can be a really healthy eater, but I despise doing dishes. Maybe we can find someone else to do the dishes? First, you need to send over some of this, so I can decide whether to apply. 😀

    This is the very best Zucchini bread I have ever made, even if you didn’t want to add blueberries ( I do ) you could add raisins, nuts , cranberries etc. very moist and with that cinnamon brown sugar crust , very flavorful, thank you for a terrific recipe that I know I will use over and over.
