Bread turned cookie & zucchini bread recipe roundup

Ok so I’ve nearly run this whole zucchini bread thing dry but I had one more thing I had to try before I gave in and gave up over playing it. What can I say, I just love zucchini bread!

So cookies…I’ve very quickly turned from not being overly enthused about cookies to the cookie monster thanks some home baking experiments over Easter weekend! First up were the banana chocolate buckwheat cookies, chewy, sweet and a vegan cookie dream come true.

Next up thanks to a the helping hand of inspiration from Angela’s carrot cake breakfast cookies  I whipped up another zucchini bread themed good…zucchini bread cookies! Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed full of texture and flavour to boot. They gave the banana buckwheat cookies a good run for their money.

The flavours of zucchini bread never fail to win me over and these cookies were no exception. I ate one, I ate a second and I could have gone another. Luckily enough these cookies are also pretty darn filling and thanks to the inclusion of wholegrain flour, flax and walnuts they pack a fair punch of staying power.

I only made a batch of six seen as I was on a bit of baking spree and I didn’t have the room in my tummy nor the room in the freezer to house a larger batch seen as I had so many goodies coming out of the oven.

Here’s a little zucchini bread recipe round up…
