Community Spotlight/Veganization: Grammy’s Zucchini Bread

sliced vegan zucchini bread in foreground with second loaf still in pan in background

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 thought converting her zucchini bread would 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.
