Cooking with Zucchini

Baking with zucchini is the perfect way to use up all that zucchini in the garden during the summer.  It’s so exciting to be able to fill my freezer with loaves of this delicious zucchini bread.

We have neighbors that usually have boat-loads of zucchini in the summer, and they love to share the bounty, which I am very thankful for!

Even if you don’t have a garden, zucchini is relatively inexpensive all year round.

Zucchini bread for healthy easy vegan breakfast

Serve as breakfast, snack, or dessert. I really like this healthy vegan zucchini bread served warm!

I often hear people say they need ideas for quick and easy breakfasts because they don’t have time to make anything in the mornings on their way out the door for work or school. This zucchini bread is a great option.

It can be made over the weekend and eaten for breakfast throughout the week.

Another great thing about this recipe is that it can be frozen and thaws back out deliciously. Whether left out on the counter to defrost naturally or placed in an oven or microwave to speed up the process. Either way, this warm-up very well!
