I know it is ridiculous to be this excited…but I am! I made up my first “real” recipe! I asked for some zucchini bread recipes last week on Facebook, and you all delivered! There were so many great recipes that I looked through, but none were quite what I had in mind. I wanted to use up some of my pumpkin and use coconut oil to make it a *little* more healthy, so I made up my own!
And I think it turned out pretty well (at least my husband had three huge slices for a snack the first night after I made it)!
Pumpkin Zucchini Bread
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour (you could use wheat if you prefer)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup honey (more if you want a sweeter bread)
1 can pumpkin
2 eggs
2 cups shredded zucchini
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two bread pans. Mix dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
2) In a separate bowl, combine oil, honey, pumpkin, and eggs. Wisk together. Add dry ingredients and stir. Finally, add zucchini and stir.
3) Pour mixture into greased pans. Bake for 45-60 minutes (depending on the size of your bread pans).

That recipe looks really good! Can’t wait to try it out!
Thanks for stopping by! So glad to have you! We thought it was good! Hope you like it — you may want to add a little more honey or other sweetener if you like your bread sweet!

What size can of pumpkin?
Hmm. I’ll have to look – it’s just the regular size (not a big one) I’m guessing it’s around 15 oz…
