Add a twist to zucchini bread with savory ingredients

zucchini bread with basil and golden raisins
Remember that giant zucchini that was so big it got belted into the passenger seat of a car? You might get sick of zucchini bread by the end of the summer with that monster.

Fortunately, Flora Fauna Fortuna has a great little twist on zucchini bread that will change things up, at least a little bit. Michele added a half cup of golden raisins, which isn't unusual, but also added an entire cup of shredded fresh basil. Adding a strong herb like basil is a great idea for zucchini bread in general, since all the zucchini breads I've ever tasted usually taste like...bread.

I wait a couple of days so it can be moist and flavorful. Otherwise it tastes like bread. Never tried basil in cakes, will give this a try one of my favorite herbs growing in my kitchen window!
