Sounds delicious! I love zucchini. What is agave? Is it a fruit? Hope you have a blessed day.
Love,
Carol
Hi, Carol. Agave is a natural sweetener, alot like honey, but with a milder flavor.
Ooooo, that looks yummy. I have zucchini, but I was saving that to make dried chips. I might have to change my mind. LOL Can I sub grapeseed oil for something else? I don’t have that.
Hi, Michelle. You can sub the cooking oil you normally use.
I like grapeseed oil because it is poly unsaturated and it has a low smoke point.
Oh Yummy Wardeh!! slice me a hunk and put it in the toaster, I am on my way!! warm hugs
Hiya Dear Wardeh!
This should give you an idea of how motivated I am today. I just read this recipe, realized that we have all of the ingredients and the girls and I are going to make it right NOW. 
I will take pics, too. I am going to make one loaf and some muffins since we have one loaf pan. I will let you know the cooking time on the muffins when we are finished.
Thank you Friend!
Have a super day, Love, Robin
That is awesome, Robin! Please do let me know how they turn out and how long it takes the muffins to bake.
Mona, come on over, I’m ready for you!
Your recipe sounds just like mine! Without the agave
When I get my agave I’ll try your zucchini bread recipe. Can’t wait!
