  6. I've made zucchini everything--including pot pie!! I've never made it this way and I'm grateful to a new recipe for the abundant vegetable!!

    Best,

  7. I would have never put bananas and zucchini together either; but it looks delicious. I guess chocolate brings everything together in love, right? We frequently have bananas rotting on the shelf and the occasional zucchini. This is the perfect way to use them!

  11. Zucchini bread is one of those things I resisted for a long time because it just sounded weird, but it really has the best flavor. You recipe looks great and I would love to try!

  12. Nice! Before even reading the recipe, I'm already putting this on my list of things to make (only 10 things on that currently, not to be confused with my recipe binder, from which hundreds of pages are overflowing and there's no guarantee any of them will make it all the way to the kitchen. the shear volume of the thing scares me).

  23. As a matter of fact, Joanne, I DO have bananas AND zucchinis to get rid of. We are gastronomic soul sisters. ;-)

    Hop hop hopping over....~~

  24. Love that you used whole wheat! This looks hearty and delicious and I just bought zucchini at the farmers' market and need to use it!

    ReplyDelete
  25. yum! gotta try it, as my last zucchini bread flopped. hard. :(

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh yum! This reminds me of a Rachel Ray magazine where they suggested mix-ins for quick breads. I'd never think of doing chocolate chips with zucchini--banana maybe--but now that I think about it, zucchini bread does lend itself well to sweeter accompaniments :)

  27. That is one pretty loaf of bread!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Almost bad bananas - check! Almost bad zucchini - check! Lucky me :) Looks awesome! Thanks, Joanne :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. That just sounds like too many really good things in one quick bread recipe...

  30. I always have bananas rotting on the counter, and I have never wondered what to do with them (because I make banana bread or muffins almost every week!). But I love that this uses zucchini as well. Headed over to check out the recipe.

  31. Wow, Zucchini, Banana, and Chocolate Chips? What could be better!? :) Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Will do! I bet this bread is super moist. I love both of those breads on their own...and the thought of combining them is making me drool! Thank you for sharing yourself and your yummy treats. I hope you had a great day today, and I hope you have an even better day tomorrow. Hugs and love from Austin!

  34. Sounds really scrumptious! I have never tried baking with zucchini yet, though I have heard so much about it. Looks good!

  35. Yesterday I lamented the fact that I had bananas but no zucchini on hand...and then last night I got zucchini in my weekly CSA box!!! So obviously tonight I'm baking this.

  36. I love when recipes serve as both guilt-relieving garbage disposals and sources of terrific food. Hopefully you aren't offended that I just called your bread a garbage disposal. :) It looks delicious.

  37. This looks and sounds wonderful! I'm wishing I would have grown zucchini this year but the husband protested its wayward growing habits.

    ReplyDelete
  38. This type of treat makes me think I can eat as much as I want because it has vegetables in it. Dangerous, dangerous snack.

    ReplyDelete
  39. What a great idea to combine all of these :) going to check it out now!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh my. I need to eat this right now. :-) The clouds just rolled in over Amsterdam and I'm craving something warm and chocolatey and comforting. :-)

  41. Zucchini and banana....yum! I was just talking about how much I love both of these breads yesterday. I never thought to use them together!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Woww.. your zucchini bread looks so yumm.. I love baking :D I have to check it out at MSB.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. I've made banana bread and zucchini bread, but never combined them - great idea, especially with all the zucchini I've been getting in my CSA Box!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I made something like this once, and it was great. But yours looks better. Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yumm! I have zucchinis and bananas that need using but no eggs. :( I wonder how this would work with chia or flax eggs hmmm.
