Community Spotlight: Grammy’s Zucchini Bread

Grammy would have never predicted her recipes would be veganized and posted on the Internet one day -

And she fought me over it. With only eggs to replace, I expected this conversion to be easy! nope. I suffered through several oily, sunken, overly sweet, and not-sweet-enough loaves adjusting everything from the amount of zucchini, the amount of sugar, the type(s) of sugar, and more...

because while I can let go of animal-based ingredients, I will not let go of my memories of her.

Description

You're welcome for not listing "2 medium zucchini" 😉
