Recipe: Zucchini & Banana Walnut Bread

Gluten free breads are not easy even when you follow a twice made recipe. Somehow they are usually hit or miss, beyond your control. Creating and cooking gluten free foods has truly taught me to trust my instincts and cook from my heart.

This cake like bread made with zucchini and walnuts with a banana mashed in for subtle sweetness and flavour is one of my all time favourites. I hope this will be a hit and not a miss for you, do try and enjoy!
