Hi Friends!
Another weekend has come and gone. This particular Monday is a little better than usual because it’s Secret Recipe Club day!
This month I was assigned to Ewa’s blog Delishhh! It’s a fantastic blog filled with great recipes and beautiful photos. I went into this month hoping to find a summery recipe to make and she didn’t disappoint. As soon as I stumbled on this Whole Wheat Zucchini Banana Bread I knew that was what I’d be making. To me, summer always equals zucchini bread because there are just so many of them available! This month, it just so happened that I had a few blackened bananas sitting around after our trip to Hawaii so I knew this would be the perfect combo.
I used the original recipe as a base (CLICK HERE to view that recipe) and made the following changes:
- I used 1 3/4 c white whole wheat flour instead of pastry and all-purpose
- I used 1/2 c agave nectar instead of 1/4 c honey and 1/2 c brown sugar
- I only used a pinch of salt instead of a teaspoon
- I left out the chocolate chips/didn’t use any mix-ins.
- I baked mine in 2 mini loaf pans instead of one big one
This recipe was great! The batter was super moist so I ended up having to bake my two smaller loaves almost as long as I would have baked one big one, but the flavor was perfect. Not too sweet, just the way I like it! And the perfect summer weekend treat!
Enjoy!

Ohh you chose on of my favorites – i make this all the times sometimes with chocolate and some times without. Great recipe and great pictures!!! Love your blog!
thanks so much! loved your blog as well 🙂
Wow that looks great! My mom’s signature bread is chocolate zucchini bread. She used to make it a lot (I’m thinking just to sneak in those extra veggies because we were very picky eaters at that age!). 😉
What a great combo for a zucchini bread!!
Looks delicious! I’ve been excited for this recipe since you posted the pic on Instagram! 🙂
Looveee zucchini bread!! It’s one of my favorites!
That looks perfectly moist! I love baking with zucchini.
Great healthy subs – I often reduce the salt (and sugar) in recipes. At least in non-healthy living blog recipes. LOL!
great src pick! zucchini bread is always a hit 🙂
Have I told you how much I missed you while you were gone?? I’m so glad you are back and have me drooling again! 🙂
I may be giving this one a try! 🙂
I love both zucchini and banana bread so the two together sounds perfect.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my SRC entry Double Chocolate Mousse Cake

Can I be your neighbor? Would could exchange yummy eats then work them off with Fitness Friday workouts!
YUM! I bet this smells amazing out baking in the oven
Ohhh…I love zucchini bread AND banana bread so what an awesome combination! Love the substitutes you made too!
Can you believe that I’ve never had zucchini bread? What’s wrong with me?! That looks so tasty 😀
I didn’t know you were part of SRC, Lindsay! I just joined a few months ago and I absolutely love it! Speaking of things I love, zucchini bread is one of my Summertime obsessions. My family grows loads of zucchini in our garden so zucchini bread is a staple around here!
Yum! And bonus that it’s whole wheat!
This is combining two of my favorite breads! I never thought to do that. I love me some zucchini bread and usually like to throw in some nuts and chocolate. If you have some left over zucchini, I highly recommend this recipe!

With all the zucchini I have this is a definite must make. Looks delicious.
hope you enjoy it 🙂
My friend has been talking about chocolate zucchini bread for weeks now, and I have never had it before!! I recently went to the farm to pick out produce and now I have zucchini for days! 🙂 She sent me the recipe she used and I thought to myself, ” I bet Lindsay has a healthier version!” Sure enough you do! I’m a new follower and I’m so happy to have found your blog! Will be making this bread tonight! Thanks!
so glad you found me!!
