HEALTHY LOW-FAT BANANA ZUCCHINI BREAD



Healthy Low-Fat Banana Zucchini Bread image

This bread is a combination of zucchini and banana bread, and it is a wonderful way to use up old bananas and dip into that summer harvest of zucchini. The bread tastes more like banana bread than zucchini bread, but it has the added nutritional benefits of vegetables. This bread is lower in fat that the standard banana/zucchini bread because applesauce replaces some of the oil in the recipe. Still using some oil, however, will prevent the bread from getting rubbery. Experiment by using pumpkin instead of bananas during the autumn months or by adding walnuts and dates! This recipe makes 2 loaves. Enjoy!

I adapted this recipe from other zucchini bread recipes that just had way too much sugar and oil. I wanted to really taste the zucchini so I doubled that portion and I used whole wheat flour as well.
