Children love it for a snack, and it's good to serve at any meal. It's another delicious way to use zucchini, which is so abundant in late summer. -Eva Mae Hebert, Lafayette, LA

HEALTHY LOW-FAT BANANA ZUCCHINI BREAD
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!

BLUEBERRY, ZUCCHINI AND BANANA BREAD
This came from my "dibs and dabs" of ingredients that I need to use. I had two zucchini from my brother-in-law, two over ripe bananas and a pint of blueberries left over from another recipe. I liked bread from each of these ingredients but decided to experiment with adding them all together. Overall, I think this came out great and hope those of your trying it will think so too!

VERSATILE BUTTERMILK BREAD - BANANA OR ZUCCHINI
I got this recipe from my sister-in-law while I was searching for a moist banana bread recipe years ago. She said the buttermilk makes all the difference. After trying a handful of different recipes - I am inclined to agree! The original recipe is for banana bread. I loved it so much I also altered it to make zucchini bread too! This recipe is one of those throw everything in a bowl and mix recipes - which is why I love it. It also freezes very well. **If you don't have buttermilk - plain yogurt can easily be substituted. Use 1/2 cup yogurt with a splash of milk.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Shred the zucchini finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too watery.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and hints of zucchini, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
