    Due to Cholesterol levels.

    I make this quite often and the kids love it! I also add a can of rinsed and drained black beans so the kids get their protein and extra fiber. I don’t really care if I buy a larger zucchini or how much it weighs, the more the better! I also cut the sugar by a 1/2 cup, I use unsweetened apple sauce, and I sprinkle the top with chocolate chips. Enjoy!

    I made this using fresh ground white wheat berries and found it to be very yummy! Moist and delicious. More like a cake. Next time I’ll sprinkle walnuts on top and add more chocolate chips (and put some inside also).

    I just got Blendtec blender. Will it work to shred zucchini/make zucchini bread?


  • Blendtec

    The Blendtec works well for chopping/grating zucchini for bread and other baked goods. Please refer to the zucchini pineapple bread in the Fresh Blends book or Zucchini Brownies recipe on this page for guidelines on how to chop the zucchini.
