Pumpkin Zucchini Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze


I love this bread! I had a surplus of zucchini in my garden this year but wanted a fall twist on a traditional zucchini loaf! You won’t believe how flavorful and moist this bread is… and how perfect pumpkin & chocolate chips are together!!

Don’t squeeze your zucchini dry in this recipe as the moisture is required to keep the loaves nice and moist! Keep the bread sealed at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can easily slice and freeze this bread and just take a couple of slices out for a snack or to add to a lunchbox.

The cream cheese glaze is amazing, similar to a frosting but pourable… my family totally devoured this bread!
