This season has provided us with a bumper crop of zucchini, to the point that it is keeping the dehydrator busy and experimenting with new recipes high. The following low calorie (about 100 calories each), low fat, low sugar loaf is not only healthy but moist and tasty. I hope you like them as much as we do.
