A great breakfast or snack recipe to get your kids to eat zucchini!! Naturally sweetened by ripe bananas and pure maple syrup, this bread uses yogurt to make it moist and whole wheat pastry flour for fiber and vitamins. The added blueberries add such a deliciously sweet flavor that's a must try in your banana bread!
3ripe bananas, mashedIf you don't have 3 bananas on hand, you can sub up to 2 bananas with 1/2 cup applesauce each (but don't exceed 1 cup applesauce in total or the batter will have too much liquid)
1medium zucchini, grated and water drained (we use a cheese cloth to squeeze out all the retained water)

½cupblueberries/chocolate chips/other add-in
⅓cupmaple syrup

½tspsalt
Coconut sugar to sprinkle on top
1
Preheat oven to 325F and grease a loaf pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients together except for the baking soda and flour.
3
Use a mixing spoon to add in the baking soda and flour until just combined (they key is to never over mix the flour or it'll dry out your bread). Gently fold in the blueberries/chocolate chips.
