Healthy Zucchini bread
Zucchini bread. Sound little strange right !! But believe me this is one recipe I instantly fall in love with.
Using zucchini in your baking is perfect way to include fresh veggies in your diet without compromising on the taste . One good thing about this bread is no one will ever notice the zucchini as it has no flavor when used in baking.
For those who are using zucchini for the first time in baking make sure you use shredded zucchini after removing the excess water from it. Otherwise bread will come out to be soggy and soggy bread is not ain't good.
For removing extra water place the grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze until all the water drains out and gets soaked up. Then you can used that zucchini in your bread.
This low calorie ( 1 slice-150 cal ) bread is perfect way to enjoy your weekend in a healthy way.
