If you have been around here awhile you will know that I am all about the quick breads! What is a quick bread? Basically it is a bread that is made with either baking soda or baking powder instead of yeast!

Some of my favorite quick breads is this apple zucchini bread! Loaded with apples and freshly grated zucchini, perfect for using up garden fresh zucchini.

Also this caramel apple bread! Perfectly delicious fall like flavors!

You can never go wrong with a classic banana bread! Just the flavors of banana and a touch of cinnamon!
