I go through moments where I feel like my kids are not getting enough fruits and veggies in their meals, and that sends me on a mission to make super healthy food that I know they will still eat!
In other words, I hide the healthy stuff in still pretty good for you food. My kids love quick breads and will eat them for breakfast, snack, and sometimes dessert-especially if I drizzle chocolate over it!
Zucchini bread is the perfect quick bread that is jammed packed with veggies but is still sweet enough that you can’t tell!
For my zucchini bread I try to keep the sugar low, I do half butter and half applesauce, I use a mix of zucchini and carrots, and I toss in some extra vitamins and protein with the use of raisins and walnuts!
