I’m partnering with Stevia In The Raw® to bring you today’s recipe! Their stevia products are so easy to use and perfect for baking!
The year after I graduated from college, I changed my morning routine. Instead of pouring myself a bowl of cereal or cooking some oatmeal after finishing my workout and showering, I switched to eating fresh fruit, peanut butter, and scrambled egg whites for a protein boost.
Most of the time during my weekly grocery shopping, I picked up bananas as my morning fruit option. I love their flavor and how they’re perfectly portioned, unlike berries or watermelon (two of my other favorites!), and my local grocery store always stocked a gigantic mountain of them in the produce section.
I always tried to select a variety of colors: a couple of bright yellow ones to eat immediately, a few half green ones for later in the week, and two purely green bananas for my breakfast a week later, right before I did my next round of weekly grocery shopping. My strategy ensured I never ended up with any overly ripe and blackened bananas for breakfast!
Quite a few months after I started that new breakfast routine, I stopped by the supermarket on January 2nd for my weekly grocery shopping, but when I got to the produce section…
Only a small handful of bright green bananas remained. The huge mountain of bananas had disappeared the day before when everyone in town on their new “Healthy New Year’s Resolution” kick decided they needed a bunch or two on their kitchen counters to replace their tins of holiday cookies!
So much for my brilliant strategy of buying different shades of yellow bananas!
This year, I’m planning ahead and dropping by the grocery store the day before New Year’s Eve to purchase my produce… But if the same crazy banana thing happens again and I end up with multiple that all turn really spotty and ripe at the same time, then I’ll just use them to bake this Healthy Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Bread!
It’s really easy to make (no mixer required!) with the most irresistible moist and tender texture. This healthy banana bread also has lots of warm spices and rich pops of flavor from the chocolate chips, yet it contains no refined flour or sugar and just 128 calories!
