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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
