banana zucchini bread
confession - I have the biggest sweet tooth.
and as a type one diabetic, this is not necessarily the best thing, which is why I love experimenting with different recipes to try and satisfy my sweet tooth that will help in keeping my blood sugar in check.
this recipe sneaks in fruits, veggies all while adding a little sweetness to your day.
banana zucchini bread
what you’ll need
3tbs flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour (could also use regular flour, but this will give the bread a chewy, dense texture)
3tbs pea protein
1 egg
115g greek yogurt (about 6tbs)
1/2c milk of choice
1/4c monk fruit
1 banana
1 zucchini
1 tbs cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
what to do
shred the zucchini and place in a bowl
add the banana to the bowl with the zucchini and mash it until well combined. slowly beat in the egg and then add all the wet ingredients - milk, vanilla, yogurt - until combined.
in another bowl, mix the flours, pea protein, baking powder, cinnamon and monk fruit. fold this mixture into the wet.
once both mixtures have been combined, pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 325 for 1 hour.
serve topped with almond butter, fresh fruits and hemp seeds.
