I have never made Zucchini Bread in my life... nor had i ever had it till i moved to the states!
But i did realise that it can be very unhealthy for you even though its made of zucchini!
I browsed threw a few recipes and decided on one that didnt have "as" much sugar in it and as per usual i couldnt follow the recipe.... (; BUT thats ok cuz it turned out delish either way!
I am going to post the version i made but if ud rather the recipe i hlf followed by all means email me and i will send it to you!
