Really nice recipe and also zucchini is my fav.
Give it a try and let us know what you think, Ranjan.
Says spiced and baked with nuts in the commentary….but no nuts in the recipe. I will make according to the recipe but wondering if nuts were left out or just wrong commentary…
Hi Susan- You’re right—no nuts here. We updated the description of the bread to omit the nuts. Happy baking!
