Baking is one of the many hobbies one can take up in these challenging times. Not only does it make use of your time indoors, it also lets you try out some delicious vegan bread recipes. Zucchini Bread is one such recipe, one that uses vanilla, oats, cinnamon, zucchini (of course) and other ingredients to make a scrumptious meal. While we can’t go on vegan travels at the moment, we can still engage in the gratifying act of making great vegan meals.
