Healthy Zucchini Slice

Tasty, high protein and packed with veg. This zucchini slice recipe is an easy, healthy breaky or lunch that I could eat on repeat 5 days a week! Not only does it taste delicious, it’s packed with fibre from the veggies and wholegrain flour, plus protein from the eggs, cheese and bacon. The crispy golden top and edges are my fave!

It’s perfect for busy mums, kids lunchboxes or the corporate girlies wanting to hit their protein and fibre goals. I actually made this for my friend postpartum as a quick and easy grabbable snack that she can enjoy whilst she’s busy in the newborn love bubble.

Let me know if you make this! From my kitchen to yours, hope you enjoy!
