Zucchini Bread Recipe
Zucchini Bread is a type of a quick bread using zucchini or what we call courgettes in New Zealand as its main ingredient. It follows the same principle of how a banana bread or pumpkin breads are made so it’s really simple and a good recipe for beginners to start with.
I remember my mom used to make these before and the thought of using zucchini in a sweet bread makes me think twice whether I will eat it or not. But there is always a first time and that first time I tried it was an eye opener, I was so surprised as taste is so much different from my expectation, it was surprisingly good. I guess if we are calculating the difference between expectation and reality this by far has one of the biggest disparity.
