Blueberry Banana Zucchini Avocado Bread

August 20, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 42 Comments

Hi Everyone,

No need to adjust your screen, yes I am serving you bread with a green tone.

Green bread!  Weird, I know, but don’t let the color fool you, this is the most moist delicious bread I have created in a long time!!  Whats in it to make it turn green?  Avocado and Zucchini!  I wanted bread that I could use up my zucchini and I wanted bread that contained healthy fats, not butter or oil, so in went the avocado.  Basically I call this bread, everything but the kitchen sink bread!


My Husband who doesn’t like avocado or zucchini was terrified to try it.  I told him to try it and he said later.  I went to take my shower and I came back and half the loaf was gone.  I asked did you touch my bread?  He he Yes he said, I had a few pieces.  He said it was really good and the flavor surprised him.  He said he liked that the blueberries popped in his mouth.  He said he never had such plump blueberries before.  I told him that’s because it’s Trader Joe’s blueberries.  He just shook his head.

This recipe makes one big loaf or two fat mini loaves.  I actually had a pinch of batter left over, I couldn’t fill my bread pans any higher.  This recipe is made with fresh blueberries, one ripe banana, one avocado and a little bit of brown sugar.  I tried to make it as healthy as I could.  I’m pretty happy with the nutritional stats of the bread.  12 FAT slices are only 107 calories.  Yes I’ll take two pieces please, and that I did.

The flavor of this bread is sweet, moist and you don’t taste the avocado at all!  You do get a slight taste of banana and honestly I barely tasted the zucchini.  It kind of got lost in the bread.  The blueberries are amazing.  They do pop in your mouth and they stain your hands.  After making the bread my fingers were blue.  I really like this bread and I love the idea of using avocado in it!  I will be doing that more often when making quick breads.  if you never tried avocado in bread, you must try it!!

    This looks fantastic!! I actually have no idea how to mash an avacado….what could I use to substitute it instead?

      Hi Samantha! If you want to use an avocado, let it get ripe (turn black) and kind of soft, but not to soft. Then mash it like you would a ripe banana. Other wise I’d use coconut oil or canola oil to sub for it, maybe a 1/4 cup, but I’m not to sure to be honest. Or maybe a quarter cup of soft butter.

      i haven’t tried it without the zucchini, but since there is so much moisture in the bread, I am sure it will be ok without it Let me know how it turns out.

    Is there a reason only egg whites are used and not the whole egg?

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
