Zucchini Bread

by Arkansas SNAP-Ed Staff - July 6, 2021

Zucchini Bread is a fantastic way to add vegetables and whole grains to your daily diet. And using whole wheat flour gives this quick bread a warm nutty flavor. Serve a slice with a glass of low-fat or non-fat milk to make a hearty breakfast or snack.
