Last Hurrah

Zucchini still looks alright (relatively) at the grocery store, so I made a last hurrah zucchini bread in its honor. This version from seven spoons has a number of components, but I was impressed with how well they all work together. This is a chocolate olive oil zuchhini bread with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. It uses no butter, wheat flour and heaping cups of zucchini, so I am dubbing it healthy. The verdict is still out.

I love quick breads because they are just as they sound -- incredibly quick and easy. I also can't believe we have had the Cuisinart for a few years and never used the grating blade. It.is.amazing. So much faster than grating by hand, although the spinning blade can be a bit terrifying.

This a very unappetizing picture, but it gives you a sense of how hearty and zucchini-y the bread is. 

If you are looking for a quick baked good that makes your house smell delicious this is a great option. They are tough to screw up and always disappear quickly.
