My garden is producing an abundance of summer squash, although it’s starting to slow down. I’m still looking for different ways to use them up, such as in my Double Chocolate Squash Muffins recipe.
Squash and Zucchini work well in breads because they add a good amount of moisture to them. I was excited to find a Zucchini Cheese Bread recipe in an old magazine that I’ve adapted here for summer squash. I still don’t understand why so many people bake with zucchini, but not summer squash?? It really baffles me.
