Healthy Zucchini Bread Sweetened with Honey

20shares

This healthy zucchini bread is made with whole grains and sweetened with honey. It’s great for using up excess zucchini from the garden!

We planted quite a bit zucchini this year, and it’s producing like crazy! We’re still getting quite a bit of zucchini from our plants. So, I’m always looking for ways to use this versatile vegetable.

Even though Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is one of my family’s favorites, I don’t make it as regularly since it has more sugar. This healthy zucchini bread recipe has less sugar (and is therefore less sweet), but it’s still tasty.

Because it isn’t as sweet, it makes a great breakfast or snack bread. And, it’s quick to throw together.

    Looks delicious! Would it work with brown sugar?

      Thank you! You could try it! It might require a little more liquid to keep it from being too dry.

    That sounds delicious. I like my breads less sweet and prefer the taste of honey over white sugar.

    Hi, Joy! (I love your name, by the way!)

    I am really excited about this recipe. Like you, we have tons of zucchini this year and I was hoping to cook it up in different ways before it went bad. After finding your recipe here, I’ve found the perfect solution. YUM! I love that this bread is a healthier version. We really try to live as healthy as possible and this will be the perfect fit. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I’ve printed your recipe off and will be trying this in the very near future! Many blessings to you & your family, Joy. ♥
