Lemon Zucchini Bread

Zucchini is officially in season and now you can use it when baking! While it's most commonly used in breads and muffins, you can also use zucchini in scones and even brownies. Zucchini will help your sweet and savory baked goods stay moist, and it's an easy way to sneak in a serving of vegetables. Recipes like Dark Chocolate Chip-Zucchini Cookies and Blueberry-Lemon Zucchini Bread are healthy, delicious and another reason to love this summer vegetable.

Savory cakes like this cheesy zucchini loaf are often served as an appetizer in France with a glass of sweet Banyuls wine or Southern French rosé. A slightly aged goat cheese with an edible wrinkly rind will hold its shape best in this loaf, but regular goat cheese works in a pinch. Source: EatingWell Magazine, July/August 2018

The batter for this healthy one-bowl brownie recipe is stirred together right in the saucepan used to melt the butter and chocolate--no mixing bowl needed and less cleanup for you. Using shredded zucchini in this healthy dessert recipe creates a tender, moist brownie with about half the amount of butter and sugar found in a classic recipe--and it's virtually undetectable in the baked brownies. Source: EatingWell Magazine, May/June 2016
