There are simply few things more satisfying to start your day than a cup of coffee with a slice of homemade bread.
Our zucchini bread includes both grated carrot and zucchini, which makes for a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a delicate sweetness. The combination of spices, vanilla and brown sugar gives the bread a rich depth of flavor, and the addition of applesauce ensures the bread stays moist for days. If you like things a little more indulgent, add in your favorite chocolate chips or chopped nuts for crunch. We recommend serving warm with a slab of butter and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
