A HEALTHY ITALIAN SAVORY ZUCCHINI BREAD
My Italian zucchini bread is a recipe to pamper yourself, by baking something delicious, but healthy.
Italian healthy eating doesn’t imply sacrificing, it means enjoying the food YOU make, balancing carbs, proteins, and fats. It also means using the best natural and seasonal ingredients.
So, as mentioned, my savory zucchini bread is made with yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, whole wheat flour, and chives (perfect to exalt the zucchini flavor).

Recipe Notes
I tried to place two nice chive flowers on top, but they turned brownish, so they become the final garnish.
Enjoy your delicious savory zucchini bread!
