What to do with gigantic, overgrown zucchini? Well, my husband was not a fan of stuffed zucchini (neither was I, really), so we remain with zucchini bread options. Did you know that zucchini has one of the highest fiber to calorie ratios of all food stuffs? Well, you know now, so you should start eating some zucchini.
Poppy seeds are one of the quintessential foods in Hungary. Consequently, I always have some around. A big difference between our poppy seed consumption and that of Westerners is that we grind the seeds to release their flavor. You should try it sometime...

1 cup ground poppy seeds
0.5 cup flour
0.5 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups grated, squeezed zucchini
1/3 cup vegetable oil
