Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter unsalted
- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini grated
- 1/3 cup water

- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar. Add the eggs and mix until combined. Add the grated zucchini, water and vanilla; mix to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Stir in the walnuts.

- *I will often keep the chocolate half at just less than half the batter so that the bread turns out with more of a “wave” effect.
