hoursYou must try our Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread. We love the idea of quick-breads, whipped up at the drop of a hat, ready for guests and us on short notice, no kneading and no rising time. The added bonus is that they are only moderately sweet, placing them in the category of real foods rather than desserts, even though they taste delicious enough to be dessert.
The flavour combination in this Zucchini Chocolate Chip bread is unbeatable! And you will eat your veggies, we guarantee it! No problem making muffins with this batter. Your children will love you for the perfect Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins snack!
