Who can resist a Zucchini Slice? Its such a versatile dish perfect in Summertime or a lovely light Winter lunchtime snack. So lovely to pop into lunch boxes for kids and adults too.
Ingredients for Zucchini Slice are pretty simple and you’ll probably have these on hand at home in the pantry and fridge.
This is a family fave of ours and is often requested at get-to-gethers and barbeques.
The slice can be made with normal self raisin flour or if you rather can use wholemeal self raising flour as well. We’ve yet to try it with almond meal or gluten free flour but would be well worth a try.

Zucchini slice is great the following day served cold as a snack or great for lunch box ideas.
Great served with a lovely side salad and some crunchy bread.
For something different pop the mixture into a well greased muffin tin to make little individual pies easy to pop into lunch boxes or picnic baskets.
