Summer Squash Bread with Chocolate Chips
Our garden has produced a lot of huge veggies this year including yellow squash!
We have more than we know what to do with so I decided to get creative with baking. I got to thinking that maybe I could make a sweet bread with some of the squash since you can make things with pumpkin or zucchini so why not squash?
Don’t get scared off because there’s squash in here. I promise you that it will almost just like zucchini bread except a little more fun!
This bread tastes so good fresh out of the oven. You can eat leftovers cold or heat them up with a slather of peanut butter which makes them even more delicious
