Notes

  • This is a version of our Classic Zucchini Bread. I love taking tried and true recipes and making a new spin.
  • Stroopwafel cookies are a secret ingredient., but they are optional. You could use more caramel chips instead.   What is a Stroopwafel? It is a waffle cookie from the Netherlands that is filled with caramel sauce. 
  • Be sure to grease and flour the pans to prevent the chips from sticking to the bottom.
  • This is a 2 Loaf Zucchini Bread Recipe. Now, you'll have a loaf to share or save for later (see below).
  • I makes loads and loads of easy zucchini bread during the summer, and freeze for later.  I wrap in plastic wrap and then foil, or I'll wrap in foil first and put in a resealable bag before freezing. Both prevents freezer burn.
