By á-1641

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 cup chocolate chips, raisins, dried fruit, nuts, or a mixture of any of these

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a standard-sized loaf pan.

Beat together the eggs, honey, banana, brown sugar, and vanilla until well-combined.

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix into the egg/banana mixture just until combined.

Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips, just until combined.

Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let rest for 20 minutes before removing from the loaf pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.

For best results, store loosely draped with a kitchen towel. Wrapping your bread in plastic or foil will result in gummy texture.
