Author Notes

This lovely loaf keeps well for quite a few days, you can pop it in the toaster if you like and serve it with a hunk of butter for a mid-morning snack.
It is a great snack for work and is excellent in school lunch boxes. If you think the green flecks might deter your children, you can peel the zucchini before you grate it. But then you would literally be sneaking vegetables into food - like I do.. —Eat This My Friend | Jade O'Donahoo

Beautiful photo! What quantity of zucchini should be used? And by wholemeal flour do you mean whole wheat or would any whole grain suffice?
