I got another zucchini recipe for ya today. This one is a zucchini bread with dried cranberries. The recipe comes from Two Peas and A Pod. She took a recipe she already had but altered it to include whole wheat flour, applesauce, and the dried cranberries.
So this is a healthier version of a zucchini bread for you. You can also sprinkle to top with some cinnamon sugar before you bake it if you’d like. It gives it a nice crunchy top. This bread is delicious. The sweet spicy bread is complimented with with the slight tartness from the cranberries. The little bit of cloves is also a nice addition. Thanks Maria it was delicious!
