While the idea of zucchini bread may sound healthy,don't be fooled! Most are loaded with sugar and butter, which means they're also loaded with calories - we're talking 340 per slice! Naturally sweetened with ripe banana, and this recipe is also vegan,which cuts back on bulky and cholesterol but doesn't compromise on flavor. You'll notice that the amount of zucchini in this bread may be more than a typical recipe, but it makes a healthier dessert that's slightly dense, or deliciously moist,and full of fiber. Best of all, it's only 226 calories per slice! From Jenny Sugar, or POPSUGAR Fitness Vegan Zucchini BreadIngredients3 cups white whole-wheat flour
