• Dust nuts lightly with flour.
• Add them along with the zucchini and blend gently into the batter with a rubber spatula.

• (I like the pyrex glass ones best for quick breads.) Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake for about 1 hour until top of the bread springs back when lightly touched.
• Cool on wire rack for about a half hour.
• When ready to remove from pans, slide a knife gently around the edges of the pans to loosen bread.
