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!

Tips:
- Use a moist zucchini. This will help keep your bread moist and flavorful. If your zucchini is dry, you can grate it and then squeeze out the excess moisture with a cheesecloth.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking zucchini bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

With its moist texture, flavorful taste, and low-fat content, zucchini bread is a great option for a healthy snack or dessert. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try.
