This Maple Pumpkin Zucchini Bread is filled with fall flavors of pumpkin, maple, and spices all while getting your veggies in too.
Just like my Netflix watching, I tend to binge bake.
Some people call it batch baking but I don’t.
Batch baking seems to be for people who have carefully planned out what they are going to be making.
Like those of you who meal prep for the whole week.
I’m a bit more spontaneous than that.
Binge baking is more like me all of a sudden popping up and deciding I need to make cinnamon rolls.
Or cake.
Or Maple Pumpkin Zucchini Bread.
When that happens I tend to end up with a lot of recipes made that day.
The next day I photo edit them usually.
And then quite often I forget about them. 🙂
Especially if I have a bunch of stuff to blog about or I have something like #HalloweenTreatsWeek that has me posting specific recipes.
Luckily for me I will usually post food that I have made on Instagram stories.
But because it is on Instagram stories and not my feed.
Those go away.
And just like my brain they go empty again. 🙂
Which enters you, the reader, to help.
About once a week I get a reader saying “hey did you ever post that recipe for ….”.
Sometimes I have.
Most of the time I have not. 😀
Friday I got asked if I ever posted my pumpkin zucchini bread.
I’ll be honest that for two seconds I thought what pumpkin zucchini bread?
Then the light bulb went off.
Ahhh, Maple Pumpkin Zucchini Bread.
So into the photos I went looking for the bread.
Luckily, I did photograph it. 🙂
This Maple Pumpkin Zucchini Bread is pretty straightforward.
Pumpkin and zucchini in general do not have a strong flavor and so that is why the spices are added.
As well as the maple.
If you have other spices you love feel free to experiment with what spices work best for your pallet.
Want it more sweet?
Throw in some white chocolate chips for good measure.
It’s a great day to order my cookbook.

I would like to make this recipe. Looks so delicious! Can these loaves be frozen after I’ve baked them and cooled? Thanks!
