  Most people tend to believe that zucchini bread is healthy as it has vegetables in it. Well, it does have vegetables in it but it also has a lot of sugar and butter in it and not really that much zucchini in it. Sure it is a delicious way to use up some of that zucchini that your garden is overgrowing. You know you have way too much zucchini when your neighbors don't answer the door when they see you coming. I don't have a green thumb so I love it when my neighbors bring me garden goodies. Can I just make a suggestion? Please pick the zucchini before it gets the size of a small baseball bat. Bigger is not better when it comes to zucchini as the bigger ones tend to be tough. The ones that taste the best are less than a foot, like the ones you can buy at the store.

When your kid asks for veggies, it is always a good thing!

 My boys have been asking for zucchini bread and my neighbors have not brought me any. So I bought some zucchini at the store, I love eating Easy Baked Parmesan & Tomato Zucchini Gratin year-round. When I make treats for my boys, I like to make them healthier so I will make them with less sugar and fat. I also add a bit more zucchini or some fruit like blueberries or pineapple. Sometimes I will add oatmeal for added nutrition but for this recipe, I choose not to add the oatmeal as I did not want that texture. The lemon juice brings out the sweet taste of the blueberries.

  If I am able to make a recipe with less fat and sugar without compromising on taste I will. The lemon and blueberries add so much flavor to this bread. That way I can indulge in a treat with no guilt. This zucchini bread has veggies and fruit in it so it is a healthy no-guilt treat that I can enjoy with my morning coffee. When I add vegan protein powder to it, then I can enjoy it for breakfast. The protein powder also makes this bread incredibly moist. The best part of this bread is you can't see or taste the zucchini. The blueberries cover up the zucchini but not the added nutrition.
