Banana Zucchini Bread

We have recently changed our eating habits for the better and those include no sugar, no corn, no dairy and everything 100% whole wheat. This has been a challenge but we are all feeling so much better and have lost a lot of weight.

I was searching for a treat for my little 2 1/2 year old and my picky husband who dislikes vegetables. When I recently came across a yummy recipe. I don't remember where I got it but I had to change a few things to make it work for our diet and the recipe below turned out great. Both Ty and Kip gobbled it right up. A healthy snack.

Banana Zucchini Bread

1 banana mashed
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
2 c. grated zucchini (this is about 1 medium or 1/2 large zucchini)
1/2 c. agave

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease standard sized loaf pan.

Mix Banana, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, zucchini and agave together until well combined. Add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before removing from pan and then cool for another 10 before serving.

This was a yummy recipe that I will be making a lot over the rest of the summer. We have so many zucchini's.
