Spiced Zucchini Walnut Bread with Sour Cream Glaze

This is a very moist zucchini bread that is on the spicy side. Sour cream, walnuts and cinnamon all add to make this bread immensely flavourful and delicious. It works well with low fat 3 % sour cream too. I also added a couple of Tablespoons oat bran.
