Spiced Summer Squash Bread

Have you started your veggie/herb garden yet? Did you plant yellow squash? If that's the case, I have the PERFECT recipe for you

There aren't many yellow squash recipes out there. I've seen stuffed squash, ratatouille, vegetable lasagne, roasted squash, and squash in a casserole. If I missed one, leave it in the comments below 😂. I feel like people don't know what to do with squash (honestly neither do I.)

I had way too many yellow squash in the fridge that were going to go bad. I had no idea what to do with them, and the recipes I mentioned above did not sound appetizing to me at the time. I've heard of people making zucchini bread but never yellow squash bread. I thought,"this can't come out terrible if I use yellow squash instead of zucchini." Guess what? It was the most delicious loaf I've made. To be honest, I like this way more than banana bread, yes...I said it.

I really like zucchini and yellow squash bread because it adds more fiber into the bread especially if you grate the vegetable with the SKIN ON. Yellow squash in particular is rich in magnesium, folate, and riboflavin.
