Zucchini Walnut Bread
Growing up, my dad loved zucchini. The reason I know this is because I was never a fan. Once I became plant-based, it was almost expected of me to love eating mushrooms and zucchini but for some reason I couldn’t stand it unless the zucchini was made into a bread. For years, I didn’t touch zucchini, then oddly enough I became obsessed with it during my postpartum period. Since then, I always have zucchini squash on hand for our veggie dishes, scrambles, as a side dish, and more. Recently, we went on a family trip and I was inspired to make zucchini walnut bread. We found a traditional recipe but then made it our own with high quality, organic ingredients. Enjoy this one alongside a cup of tea or to accompany a simple meal!

- 1 ½ cups Organic Jovial Einkorn Flour
- ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
