Everyone knows you can use sweet fruits like Bananas to make a delicious baked treat – but why not sneak in some more vegetables into your diet? Zucchini bread is nothing new, but I wanted to use a healthy Zucchini bread recipe from my favorite food blog, Skinnytaste, and give it a twist to make it savory!
This was great to keep around for snacking, or as a side to a meal. I recommend slicing off a piece and toasting it with butter over a cast iron pan… YUM!
Check out my video on YouTube making it at home.
