Is it Zucchini season? Did your neighbors ring your doorbell and all you find is that oversized Zucchini?
Well let’s put that to use shall we! This delicious take in Cornbread but using Zucchini is a win win!
You could use frozen Zucchini or fresh Zucchini and as for the cornmeal you could use cornmeal or masa harina. For this recipe I used my Mockmill 100 and corn from Azure Standard to make fresh ground cornmeal. How fun and homesteady right?
Want it sweeter? Add in a half of cup of sugar and you’ll get that extra sweet Cornbread!
This Zucchini Cornbread is great as a side dish at dinner, a snack or treat, or bring it along to a bbq or potluck!
