So, I have tried a few things over the last couple of days (mainly recycling left-overs), and the newest addition to the recipe circuit was a zucchini loaf. It was pretty good, but I will change it in the future. There was just something 'missing.' I think I would likely add more apple sauce, more zucchini and maybe a drop or two of Stevia to sweeten it up just a touch. Might even throw some nutmeg in, versus just the cinnamon for spice. Below are some pictures, and the recipe will follow! This was enjoyed by both myself and the hubster, he didn't realize it was paleo until I told him after he ate it. Good sign! The zucchini loaf tastes fabulous with Almond butter on it. I highly recommend adding that as a spread versus plain. Warm is nice as well.

You can sweeten this bread up even more by increasing the honey a bit in the bread or by adding more honey to the topping. We think it is sweet enough just like it is! Enjoy!
