My family begs me to make this recipe on a weekly basis. Sometimes I make it with chocolate chips sometimes with carrots, sometimes with mashed banana etc. You really can add anything you like to this. Also it's pretty much guilt free since it's fairly low in sugar, no oil and 2/3 whole wheat flour. You don't miss any of what I took out....it's scrumptous!
Ingredients:

Do you substitute when you add carrots or just add them as another filler?
ReplyDeleteI would cut down the amount of zucchini and add grated carrots instead. So 1 cup zucchini and one cup carrots. Yellow squash is also a great substitute for zucchini.
