I've been gifted with one of those baseball bat zucchinis by a co-worker and was trying to find something interesting to do with it, so searched on 'zucchini' in the recipe forums here.
And found some interesting stufff, but one that really caught my eye was this one:
Zucchini Cobbler ????
This would never have occurred to me in my wildest dreams. Zucchini used like apple? It was just so wild I had to try it. Interestingly, when you peel, de-seed and slice a giant zucchini (and I only used half of it) the slices actually do *look* like apple slices.
Naturally, since I never follow recipes exactly, I did things a bit differently. When I was cooking the zucchini with lemon juice in my skillet I also added 1/4 cup of SF DaVinci Cinnamon Syrup, and cooked it down until the liquid was mostly gone, then added cinnamon (way more than a measly 1/4 tsp) and nutmeg.
And since I don't have, don't want to have, and don't use CarbQuick - and the recipe sounded like it had far too much of it anyway, I just stirred in a small spoonful of coconut flour into the zucchini mix. Then in another bowl I melted butter, and then mixed it with some shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, and a bit of coconut flour, and sprinkled that all over the top, and baked until it was browned and crispy-looking.
Something like this just begged for a whipped cream topping, but I am trying to limit my dairy and had no cream in the house, so I made a very nice custard sauce from egg, coconut milk, some vanilla, and a little sweetener.
And this was AWESOME. Wow, How yummy it was. The hardest part for me was the mental part, the thought that I was eating zucchini. But it was really good. Unfortunately I can't come up with precise totals for the recipe since, as usual, I didn't weigh or measure anything when I was making the recipe, so can only do guestimates.
