From Your Early Summer Harvest –
Honey Zucchini Bread

Notes: Honey Zucchini Bread

As we harvest our summer produce, there’s always a lot of veggies to process. We just can’t seem to eat them as fast as we harvest them. That’s why making and freezing quick breads may be a good solution for you. A good example of a summer quick bread is honey zucchini bread. After all, there is nothing more tasty than a homemade quick bread for breakfast or afternoon tea. (Yes, I often take afternoon tea, since I lived in England for almost a decade. :))

I suggest using Bee Wild Gallberry Honey in this recipe as it holds up well to baking and cooking. I understand that later in the year, you can use shredded carrots, instead of zucchini, in this recipe, when you do your late summer/fall harvesting. By the way, if you want to make a gluten free zucchini bread I suggest purchasing organic gluten free flour and substituting the amount of flour 1:1.

Zucchini’s Health Benefits

Zucchini is an ancient plant with amazing health benefits. Since it is 95% water, zucchini is a great vegetable to include as part of a weight conscious food plan. Also, the fiber will help you feel full. Here are some other amazing health benefits for zucchini. When you add the anti-microbial benefits of raw honey to those of zucchini, you have food packed with nutritional power.
