Banana, Zucchini, Blueberry Chocolate…

Summertime! The time of year when the Zucchini attack! We planted only one zucchini plant this year and we are already being overwhelmed by it! My children do not like this vegetable so I have to be really creative when I cook with it. I do the grilling, stir fry, zucchini bread, zucchini quiche, etc. Today I decided to make something a little different; something to satisfy that sweet craving without going overboard. I know my kids will like it because they didn’t see me add the zucchini into the batter, all they saw was a chocolate blob 🙂

This is something you can play with-add another banana, more blueberries, maybe chocolate chips. You can really use your creativity with this one. And trust me I am not creative when it comes to baking, but this was Easy! Hope you Enjoy!
