Zucchini in abundance? Here’s a ‘sweet’ way to use these prolific mid-summer veggies.

Cooking Steps

  • 1

    Combine filling ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until zucchini is translucent.

  • 2

    While zucchini is cooking, combine all topping ingredients EXCEPT the butter. It should resemble cornmeal (small coarse crumbs).

  • 3

    When zucchini is done, quickly stir in 2 tbsp. of topping into filling. Cook over low until the mixture thickens.

  • 4

    Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan with cooking spray, or grease with butter. Scoop filling into the pan. Cover with the topping crumbs. Drizzle melted butter across crumbs.

  • 5
    Bake at 350 degrees F until the top is browned and the filling is bubbly. For a "soft" topping remove from oven, allow to rest 5 minutes then cover pan with foil.
  • 6
    Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or yogurt, or eat plain. Enjoy!
