I'm looking for a quick and easy (and maybe failproof!) zucchini bread recipe. I'm cooking for my flatmate this weekend and know she loves it, so want to surprise her. So if anyone has a particulary yummy recipe up their sleeves, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

I've had great success with this one

Read a few of the reviews for ideas on substitutions that work well -- I used walnuts (instead of chocolate chips) and omitted the cinnamon. The sour cream really makes this recipe!

Neoncoyote - the sour cream
Neoncoyote - the sour cream must make it really moist and delicious, and I love walnuts so great suggestion.
Thank you both for this. Will let you know how it goes.
