Zucchini Buttermilk Bread image

I was searching for Zucchini bread to use up some home-grwon zucchini that I had and I came across a recipe that was good, but not great. I decided to modify it and add one of my favorite ingredients, BUTTERMILK. I love buttermilk pound cake and had a recipe for it as well. I love the texture of a light pound cake, but the semi-sweetness of a bread. So, after testing and modifying, I finally have a great recipe, Zucchini Buttermilk Bread. Hope you Like it, I know I do!
