Zucchini Bread | Whole Wheat | Eggless

Wouldn't it be nice to have a different breakfast other than the boring cereals or store bought bread? I do get bored and end up baking some breakfast bread. This week it happened to be Zucchini!
Its an healthy option as I have used whole wheat flour and gone down on the fatty stuff. Zucchini's have high eater content which results nice moist bread.
You can go vegan by substituting buttermilk with soy milk / almond milk or rice milk.
This has a shelf life of 5 days if wrapped well but can be refrigerated for longer shelf life (if there are any left ;)! )
I baked this loaf for a friend who was taking a road trip and she loved it! So guess it makes good travel food as well.
