Zucchini Slice

One of my absolute favourites. This slice brings me straight back to my childhood.  I remember coming home from school and
smelling freshly baked zucchini slice that mum had made. I have now tweaked the recipe and made it even more nutrient dense.

I like to bake this on a Sunday and eat it throughout the week, it’s so easy to just grab and go. I often have it for a quick breaky or a lunch/dinner
with salad on the side. Depending where I am, I eat it hot and cold
and it’s just as good either way.

These kind of recipes are so great for getting some extra veggies in to our diets &
great for fussy kids!

Zucchini is a good source of vitamin C, manganese, vitamin B-6 & vitamin K.
Make sure to keep the peel on, that’s where all the goodies are at!
