Walnut Zucchini Squares
These Walnut Zucchini Squares are one of my favorite recipes because they are so simple but very tasty! The zucchini keeps the cake nice and moist, and the walnuts give a good crunch. I like how the flavors mix together—the earthy taste of zucchini with the sweetness of the cake and the little hint of spice from cinnamon. It's not too sweet, so it’s perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack with tea or coffee. Plus, it’s a great way to use up extra zucchini from the garden! Just follow the steps, and you will have a delicious treat in no time. Enjoy baking!
