I used an egg replacer mix in this recipe but feel free to use applesauce, yogurt, mashed banana, or whatever else you like to use as an egg replacement. These replacements work well in heavier and more dense baked goods like this bread. I used green zucchini in this recipe but it would be delicious with some yellow squash as well. I would have made a frosting or glaze for this but it was far too hot and I worried it would have made a melted mess. This makes the perfect summer morning bread to enjoy with some tea.
