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.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it.

Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
