Zucchini Bread Recipe

My favourite “healthy” treat is homemade zucchini bread. It’s sort of a hybrid between a muffin and a cake; it’s soft and spongy, but also moist with just the right amount of sugar. Zucchini bread is packed full of this delicious summer vegetable, and this recipe has a reduced sugar and oil content so that you don’t have to feel guilty snacking on it! I love to eat it for dessert, as well as for a snack!One thing that I occasionally add into my zucchini bread is chocolate chips. This time I used a combination of semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate cut up into chunks. However, I love the taste of the zucchini bread without the chocolate as well. It’s totally optional whether or not you choose to add chocolate, and I guarantee that it’s delicious either way! 

Once the zucchini bread is baked, after you’ve let it cool for a bit, you can either cut it into chunks or slices and serve it. I like to cut out large pieces first and remove them from the pan before making smaller slices on a cutting board or plate. If you’ve greased your pan, the bread should slide out easily without falling apart.

The stylish plate that my zucchini bread is displayed on was supplied to me by Restaurantware. The company makes eco-friendly dining products that can be disposed after you use them. I think this 9-inch square plate is great for serving and presentation, as well as eating off of at a dinner party.
