So summer started and my mom really wanted a sweet yet healthy baked good to eat in the morning. It's safe to say that this recipe blew all of her expectations away! There's no butter and barely any added sugar. I fiddled around with some recipes on the internet until this one came about.

Eat it with butter or cream cheese and it's a moist, sweet, filling snack! Hope you enjoy! :D

You Will Need (16 things)

  • 2 cup Flour
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Honey
  • 3 Egg(s)
  • 3 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Allspice
  • 2 Large Banana(s)
  • 1 Apple
  • 2 Carrot(s)
  • 1 Zucchini
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Chopped Walnuts
  • Food Processor
  • Grater

Steps (12 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    First things first, gather your ingredients and set up a place to work.

    Turn on some tunes or flip on the TV and get comfortable!

    Preheat oven to 350 F.

  2. 2

    Start with the zucchini, apple, and carrots.

    IF YOU'RE USING A FOOD PROCESSOR:

    1. Chop the ends off the zucchini, then dice into smaller pieces.
    2. Core and chop the apple into chunks.
    3. Peel, then chop the ends off the carrots. Dice into smaller pieces.

    IF YOU'RE USING A HAND GRATER:

    1. Chop the ends off the zucchini.
    2. Core and quarter the apple.
    3. Peel, then chop the ends off the carrots.

    (The main difference between the instructions is that using a hand grater is easier with larger pieces.)

  3. 3

    IF YOU'RE USING A FOOD PROCESSOR:

    Blend the zucchini, apple, and carrot pieces. Pulse and mix until they resemble grated pieces.

    IF YOU'RE USING A HAND GRATER:

    Grate the zucchini, apple, and carrot pieces into a bowl. (May take some time sorry!)

  4. 4

    Place the bits in a towel and wring out the excess water. You should have about 2-3 cups of fruits and vegetables.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mash the bananas using a fork.

  6. 6

    Combine the eggs, vanilla, and honey with the mashed bananas. Mix well.

  7. 7

    In a separate large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice. Whisk and mix together well.

  8. 8

    Mix the grated fruits and vegetables into the dry ingredients. It's easy to fold over using a silicon spatula. Make sure all of the grated bits get coated.

  9. 9

    Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well. If the mixture is too dry add 1 tbsp. of oil.

  10. 10

    Fold walnuts into mixture.

  11. 11

    Grease or line 2 bread pans. Scoop mixture into pans and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    OR

    Grease or line muffin tins. Scoop mixture into tins and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Bake and enjoy! :D
