4 Zucchini Baked Goods Recipes to Make Before the Veggie Bolts from Your Garden

Zucchini baked goods recipes capture the last flavors of summer and prepare you for fall.
I’m relatively certain that it is impossible for zucchini to ever taste bad. It’s great when it’s picked from the garden, freshly washed and then sliced and served with hummus or salsa. The versatile vegetable also is amazing when it’s steamed alongside some amazing marinara sauce as a pasta substitute.
But I firmly believe zucchini is at its absolute best when it’s baked into bread, muffins or cookies. To help get you in the baking spirit, we’ve rounded up 4 zucchini baked goods recipes that are a snap to whip up.
1. Zucchini Cupcakes
