MG 1209 Zucchini Pistachio Bread

I don’t know if anyone is starting to notice how much I love coconuts, and pistachios, its starting to become an addiction to bake and cook with the two. I’m also obsessing over avocados, and all types of berries, mainly because they are so fresh right now, and what better way to kick-start the beautiful summer weather than with fresh berry everything. This recipe I have for you today doesn’t have berries in it……boo, I know, but it won’t be a boo anymore once you take a bit of this fluffy, moist and sweetly delicious Zucchini Pistachio bread. I have included coconut and pistachios in this recipe, only two of my favourite food items right now, to make an all time traditional zucchini bread into a new all time favourite.  You are going to be wanting to make this zucchini bread over and over again.
