Zucchini Bread

Tuesday, June 22, 2010


More bread!  I love quick breads; you can whip them up in no time, they are perfect for breakfast, and they have a great texture and stay moist.  This is probably the best zucchini bread recipe I have ever tried.  It is a very healthy recipe compared to most but it still tastes wonderful!!  The recipe calls for vanilla yogurt but I only had honey-vanilla Greek yogurt on hand.  I think it actually made it better though because it added a little extra sweetness.
