Zucchini Bread and Muffins and Zucchini Bread and Muffins with Walnuts

This satisfying summer treat came to be long ago when resourceful cooks explored what to do with an abundant zucchini harvest.

This is not unusual as zucchini plants are generally prolific producers. It was found that adding shredded zucchini to bread recipes was not only delicious, but a great way to use the whole harvest. Zucchini, which is high in vitamin C, makes the bread extra moist. Plus the bread freezes wonderfully. Try it with or without walnuts for a delicious treat!

Serving Suggestion

Enjoy it slightly warmed by itself or with butter.
